Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

(1) On August 5, 2013, Global Axcess Corp., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries entered into a entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”) with Financial Consulting & Trading International, Inc. (the “Purchaser”), whereby the Company and its subsidiaries would sell to Purchaser, and Purchaser would purchase and acquire from the Company and its subsidiaries, a majority of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries. The transaction will be subject to Sections 105, 363 and 365 of Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and pursuant to the Company’s motion to approve bid procedures in connection with such sale, would include a marketing process.

The Asset Purchase Agreement provides for consideration to be paid by Purchaser in the form of assumption of specified liabilities, including payables owed to nearly all of the Company’s suppliers, and payment in cash to the Company of $10,000,000 (minus a hold-back amount of $1,000,000 (to be released upon the occurrence of certain conditions), and minus certain estimated lease payments), subject to working capital adjustment. The transaction is subject to certain closing conditions as specified in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Asset Purchase Agreement also provides for a break-up fee of $600,000, payable to Purchaser by the Company upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Company’s DVD business assets are not being transferred in the Asset Purchase Agreement, and will remain property of the Company.

The Asset Purchase Agreement has been included to provide investors and shareholders with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any factual, business or operational information about the Company or its subsidiaries. The Asset Purchase Agreement contains representations and warranties that the parties to the Asset Purchase Agreement made solely for the benefit of each other. The assertions embodied in such representations and warranties are qualified by information contained in schedules that the Company provided in connection with execution of the Asset Purchase Agreement. These disclosure schedules contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Moreover, the representations and warranties in the Asset Purchase Agreement (i) are subject to materiality standards which may differ from what may be viewed as material by investors and shareholders, (ii) in certain cases, were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts, and (iii) were only made as of the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement and are modified in important part by the underlying disclosure schedules. Accordingly, investors and shareholders should not rely on such representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts or circumstances. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of such representations and warranties may change after the date of the Asset Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in the Company’s public disclosures.

The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement, including all exhibits attached thereto, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Asset Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Report”) as Exhibit 2.1, and is incorporated herein by reference.

(2) On August 1, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement for Services (the “Services Agreement”) with MorrisAnderson & Associates, Ltd., an Illinois corporation (“MA”) to provide management services for the Company. MA has agreed to provide such services and make available to the Company Mr. David Bagley to act as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer (See Item 5.02 of this Report) and to act as an officer and a member of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) as requested by the Company. The Company has agreed to compensate MA for the services of Mr. Bagley, and for the services of any other MA employees, at the hourly rates stipulated in the Services Agreement. The Company has also agreed to reimburse MA for all reasonable and necessary, documented and appropriately itemized out-of-pocket expenses that are incurred directly relating to any work undertaken.

Pursuant to the terms of the Services Agreement, fees for Mr. Bagley are $395/hour, and will not exceed $16,000/week, before expenses. Fees may be adjusted upon thirty (30) days notice. Either party may terminate the Services Agreement upon three (3) business days written notice to the other party.

The foregoing summary description of the Services Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the Services Agreement, a copy of which is attached to this Report as Exhibit 10.1, and is incorporated herein by this reference.

Item 1.03

Bankruptcy or Receivership.

On August 5, 2013 the Company and its subsidiaries, Nationwide Money Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation, Nationwide Ntertainment Services, Inc., a Nevada corporation and EFT Integration, Inc., a Florida corporation (together, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief (the “Chapter 11 Petition”) under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada (Reno Division) (the “Bankruptcy Court”). The Debtors will continue to manage their properties and operate their businesses as “debtors-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

A copy of the press release announcing the Chapter 11 Petition and related matters is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1.

As previously disclosed in the Company’s risk factors set forth in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as a result of the Company’s filing under Chapter 11 with the Bankruptcy Court, it is expected that the Company’s equity holders will experience a complete loss of their investment.

Item 2.04

Triggering Events That Accelerate Or Increase A Direct Financial Obligation Or An Obligation Under An Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement.

The Chapter 11 Petition described in Item 1.03 of this Report constituted an event of default with respect to both the Loan and Security Agreement, dated June 18, 2010, and related loans made thereunder, as amended, and the Master Equipment Lease Agreement, dated June 18, 2010, and the loans made thereunder, as amended (the “Debt Documents”). The Debt Documents provide that, as a result of the Chapter 11 Petition, the principal and interest due thereunder shall be immediately due and payable. The Company believes that any efforts to enforce such payment obligations under the Debt Documents are stayed as a result of the Chapter 11 Petition, and the creditors’ rights of enforcement in respect of the Debt Documents are subject to the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code.

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, this Report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this Report are forward-looking statements. These statements speak only as of the date of this Report, and we disclaim any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events or developments or otherwise.

The Company’s shareholders are cautioned that trading in shares of the Company’s equity securities during the pendency of its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings is highly speculative and poses substantial risks. Trading prices for the Company’s equity securities may bear little or no relationship to the actual recovery, if any, by holders in our Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Accordingly, the Company urges extreme caution with respect to existing and future investments in its equity securities. As previously disclosed in the Company’s risk factors set forth in its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012, as a result of the Company’s filing under Chapter 11 with the Bankruptcy Court, it is expected that the Company’s equity holders will experience a complete loss of their investment.
