Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
 
Second Additional Debenture Closing of July 2008 Securities Purchase Agreement

On July 29, 2008 (the “Closing Date”), NeoMedia Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “SPA”) to issue and sell secured convertible debentures (the “Debentures” and each, a “Debenture”) to YA Global Investments, L.P. (the “Investor”) in the principal amount of up to Eight Million Six Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($8,650,000) pursuant to the terms of the SPA, by and between the Company and the Investor, of which the first secured convertible Debenture in the amount of $2,325,000 was funded on the Closing Date, the second secured convertible debenture in the amount of $2,325,000 was funded on October 28, 2008 and a third debenture in the amount of $4,000,000 was to be funded on or after January 1, 2009 subject to certain conditions set forth in the SPA.

On April 6, 2009, the Company and the Investor entered into an Amendment Agreement (the “Amendment Agreement”) whereby the SPA was amended in order to reduce the amount of the third secured convertible Debenture (as discussed above) from $4,000,000 to $1,100,000, and whereby such Third Closing (as defined in the Amendment Agreement) was broken down into two (2) separate closings, the first to occur on April 6, 2009 pursuant to which the Investor purchased a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $550,000 and the second to occur on or after May 1, 2009 pursuant to which the Investor exercised its option and purchased a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $550,000.

On June 5, 2009, the Investor and the Company entered into an Agreement to issue an additional debenture (the “Additional Agreement”), and the Company issued to the Investor a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $715,000. Such transaction was described in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission  on June 5, 2009.

On July 15, 2009, the Investor and the Company entered into an Agreement to issue an additional debenture (the “Second Additional Agreement”), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.18, and the Company issued to the Investor a secured convertible debenture in the principal amount of $535,000, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.19 (the “Second Additional Debenture”).  Such debenture shall mature on July 29, 2010 (the “Maturity Date”). The Second Additional Debenture shall accrue interest at a rate equal to fourteen percent (14%) per annum and such interest shall be paid on the Maturity Date (or sooner as provided in the Second Additional Debenture) in cash or, provided that certain Equity Conditions are satisfied (as such term is defined in the Second Additional Debenture), in shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) at the applicable Conversion Price (as defined in the Second Additional Debenture).  At any time after June 5, 2009, the Investor shall be entitled to convert any portion of the outstanding and unpaid principal and accrued interest thereon into fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock at a price equal to the lesser of $0.02 and ninety-five percent (95%) of the lowest volume weighted average price of the Common Stock during the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding each conversion date.

The Company shall not affect any conversion, and the Investor shall not have the right to convert any portion of the Second Additional Debenture to the extent that after giving effect to such conversion, the Investor (together with the Investor’s affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such conversion, except for not less than sixty-five (65) days prior written notice from the Investor.

The Company shall have the right to redeem a portion or all amounts outstanding (subject to certain conditions in the Second Additional Debenture) by paying the amount equal to the principal amount being redeemed plus a redemption premium equal to ten percent (10%) of the principal amount being redeemed, and accrued interest.
