GENERAL INFORMATION

Proxy Solicitation

This proxy statement is furnished to stockholders of Seven Arts Entertainment Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), in connection with our solicitation of proxies for use in voting at our annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on September [  ], 2013 at 9:00 a.m., local time, at 8439 Sunset Blvd., Suite 402, West Hollywood, CA 90069 or at any adjournment thereof. The purposes of the Annual Meeting and the matters to be acted upon are set forth in the accompanying Notice relating to the Annual Meeting. Our board of directors (the “Board”) is not currently aware of any other matters that will come before the Annual Meeting.

Pursuant to the rules adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referenced in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions regarding how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found on the Notice. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.

The Notice was mailed to stockholders, and the proxy materials were first given to stockholders via Internet access, on or about September [  ], 2013. On or before the time that the Notice was sent to stockholders, all materials identified in the Notice were publicly accessible, free of charge, at the website address specified in the Notice (http://www.proxyease.com/sevenarts/2013) Such materials will remain available on that website for twelve months subsequent to the conclusion of the Annual Meeting.

Our officers, agents and employees may communicate with stockholders, banks, brokerage houses and others by telephone, facsimile or in person to request that proxies be furnished. All expenses incurred in connection with this solicitation will be borne by us.

Voting and Proxy Revocability

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting. We will give you a ballot when you arrive. If you are a record stockholder, but you do not wish to vote in person or if you will not be attending the Annual Meeting, you may vote by proxy. You can vote by proxy over the Internet by following the instructions provided in the Notice. If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name, follow the voting instructions provided in the Notice and in any correspondence from the record stockholder.

You may revoke the authority granted by your execution and delivery of a proxy at any time before its effective exercise by delivering to the Company a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. If you deliver an executed proxy, and it is not subsequently revoked, your shares will be voted in the manner you direct on your proxy card. If no specifications are given, your shares will be voted in favor of Proposals No. 1, No. 2, and No. 3 and in the discretion of the proxy holders as to any other matters that may properly come before the Annual Meeting.

Record Date and Voting Rights

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on September [  ], 2013 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. On September [  ], 2013, there were 101,000,932 shares of our common stock outstanding, each of which is entitled to one vote on each of the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. On September [  ], 2013, there were outstanding 125,125 shares of our Series A Preferred Stock and 36,500 shares of our Series B Preferred Stock outstanding, which represent in total 265,110 (i.e., 119,168 + 145,942) votes on each of the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

1

 
 

A majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote must be present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting in order to have a quorum for transaction of business. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum. “Broker non-votes” are shares held by brokers or nominees which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner. If there is a quorum:

• the one director nominee who receives the highest number of affirmative votes cast will be elected for the terms specified,
• upon the approving vote of a majority of the votes cast, the Board’s appointment of The Hall Group, CPAs will be ratified,
• upon the approving vote of a majority of the votes cast, the amendment to our amended articles of incorporation to increase the number of shares of capital stock authorized for issuance from 250,000,000 to 500,000,000 will be approved,

If you are a beneficial holder and do not provide specific voting instructions to your broker, the organization that holds your shares will not be authorized to vote on the election of directors or the amendment to our amended articles of incorporation. Accordingly, we encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

Stockholder Proposals

All stockholder proposals which are intended to be presented at the 2014 annual meeting must be received by the Company no later than January 15, 2014 for inclusion in the Board’s proxy statement and on the proxy card relating to the 2014 annual meeting.

A stockholder proposal that will not appear in the proxy statement may be considered at a meeting of stockholders only if the Company has received timely notice of the proposal. In order to be timely, for the 2014 annual meeting, the Company must receive notice of the proposal no later than January 15, 2014.

Only votes cast for a nominee will be counted, except that your proxy will be voted for all nominees in the absence of instruction to the contrary.

Our Board recommends a vote for Anthony Hickox.



 

Board Leadership Structure and the Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board also recognizes that depending on the circumstances, other leadership models may be appropriate, and that no single leadership model is right for all companies and at all times. Accordingly, the Board periodically reviews its leadership structure.

The Board oversees and guides the Company’s management and its business affairs. Committees assist the Board in discharging its responsibilities on issues that benefit from consideration by a smaller, more focused subset of directors. All committee members are elected by and serve at the pleasure of the Board. The Board currently combines the role of Chairman of the Board with the role of chief executive officer. The Board believes this provides an efficient and effective leadership model for the Company. Combining the chairman and chief executive officer roles fosters clear accountability, effective decision-making and alignment on corporate strategy. The Board does not have a lead independent director at this time.

The Board’s role in the Company’s risk oversight process includes regular reviews of information from senior management regarding the areas of material risk to the Company. The oversight is conducted primarily through committees of the Board, as disclosed in the descriptions of each of the Board committees below and in the charters of each of the committees, but the full Board has retained responsibility for general oversight of risks. The Compensation Committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the Company’s executive compensation plans and arrangements. The audit committee oversees management of financial and information technology risks. While each committee is responsible for evaluating certain risks and overseeing the management of such risks, the entire Board is regularly informed about such risks. The full Board also manages additional risks, including those associated with corporate governance, independence of Board members and potential conflicts of interest.

Board Committees and Meetings

Our Board has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nomination Committee.

We do not have a policy regarding Board members’ attendance at annual meetings.

We have an Audit Committee, which recommends to the Board of Directors the engagement of our independent registered public accounting firm and reviews with such firm the scope and results of our audits, our internal accounting controls, and the professional services furnished by our independent registered public accounting firm. The current members of the Audit Committee are Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Furth and Ms. New.

Our Compensation Committee (Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Hickox and Mr. Furth) and Nominating Committee (Mr. Gibbs, Mr. Hickox and Mr. Furth) are made up of our independent directors.

All Committees of the Board are organized pursuant to resolutions of the Board of Directors. The terms of reference of each committee are based on the subject matter jurisdiction of each Committee. The Compensation Committee reviews and approves all employee compensation and bonuses. The Nomination Committee proposes candidates for election to our Board of Directors.

All meetings of each Committee are on an ad-hoc basis, decisions are made by majority vote and all decisions are reported to the full Board of Directors for approval.

5

 
 

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee meets with our independent registered public accounting firm at least annually to review the results of the annual audit and discuss the financial statements; recommends to the Board the independent registered public accounting firm to be retained; oversees the independence of the independent registered public accounting firm; evaluates the independent registered public accounting firm’s performance; consults with the independent registered public accounting firm and discusses with senior management the scope and quality of controls; and reviews and considers the cooperation received by the independent registered public accounting firm during their audit examination and quarterly reviews. The Board has adopted a written Audit Committee charter that requires at least semi-annual meetings. The charter is included as Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee has the primary authority to determine our compensation philosophy and to make recommendations regarding compensation for our executive officers. The Compensation Committee makes recommendations to the Board concerning salaries and incentive compensation for executive officers, awards equity compensation to employees and consultants under our 2012 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”) and otherwise determines compensation levels and performs such other functions regarding compensation as the Board may delegate.

The Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has implemented, compensation policies, plans and programs that seek to enhance stockholder value by aligning the financial interests of the executive officers with those of the stockholders. We rely heavily on incentive, including equity, compensation to attract, retain, motivate and reward executive officers. Historically, annual base salaries have been set at the time of hire and are subject to adjustment. Initial base salaries are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer to the Compensation Committee. After review, the Compensation Committee recommends to the full Board the compensation package as part of the overall Board consideration of the full employment package offered to the prospective officer. The compensation package is based on the amount deemed necessary to attract and retain the services of the executive officer candidate. Incentive compensation is variable and tied to corporate and individual performance. The incentive compensation program is designed to provide incentive to management to grow revenues, provide quality returns on investment, enhance stockholder value and contribute to our long-term growth. The incentive compensation program is reviewed at least annually to ensure it meets our current strategies and needs. The Chief Executive Officer aids the Compensation Committee by providing input regarding the annual compensation of all executive officers, other than himself. The performance of our Chief Executive Officer is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee.

The Board has not adopted a written Compensation Committee charter.

Nominations Committee

Director nominees to our Board are recommended to the full Board by the Nomination Committee. The Board, as a whole, then approves or rejects such director nominees.

The identification of director nominees may occur in various ways, including through recommendation by our directors, management and stockholders. Although there are no specific minimum qualifications applicable to director nominees, in recommending director nominees, the independent directors evaluate the qualifications of identified director nominees in light of the skills, experience, perspective and background required for the effective functioning of our Board. While there is no formal policy with respect to diversity, the Board does consider such issues as diversity of education, professional experience, differences of viewpoints and skills when assessing individual director nominees. Nominations must also comply with the rules relating to stockholder proposals, as described under “Stockholder Proposals” above. All director nominee recommendations and the subsequent nomination process are evaluated using the same guidelines described above.

PROPOSAL NO. 2 — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Board, based on the recommendation of the audit committee, has selected The Hall Group, CPAs as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012 and recommends that the stockholders ratify such selection. Although not required, we believe that it is good corporate practice to request stockholder ratification of the Board’s appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm. In the event that a majority of the shares are not voted in favor of ratification, the audit committee will reconsider its selection. Unless otherwise instructed, the proxy holders will vote the proxies they receive for the ratification of The Hall Group, CPAs’ appointment as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2012. A representative of The Hall Group, CPAs is expected to be present telephonically at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

Services Provided by Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Hall Group, CPAs serves as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013, and acted in such capacity for the fiscal years for our listing predecessor Seven Arts Pictures Plc for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012, June 30, 2011 and 2010. Aggregate fees for professional services rendered for the Company (and its listing predecessor, Seven Arts Pictures Plc) for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 were as follows:

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

Our audit committee has certain policies and procedures in place requiring the pre-approval of audit and non-audit services to be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Such pre-approval can be given as part of the audit committee’s approval of the scope of the engagement of the independent registered public accounting firm or on an individual basis. The approved non-audit services must be disclosed in our periodic reports filed with the SEC. Our independent registered public accounting firm cannot be retained to perform specified non-audit functions, including (i) bookkeeping, financial information systems design and implementation; (ii) appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions, or contribution-in-kind reports; (iii) actuarial services; and (iv) internal audit outsourcing services. All work performed by The Hall Group, CPAs for 2010 and 2011 was pre-approved by our audit committee as was the work carried out by our previous independent registered public accounting firms.



 

Our Board recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of The Hall Group, CPAs to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2013.

PROPOSAL NO. 3 — ADOPTION OF AMENDMENT TO AMENDED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE AUTHORIZED CAPITAL STOCK

Our Board is proposing for stockholder approval an amendment to our amended articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of capital stock from 250,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares.

As of September [  ], 2013:

• 200,635,536 shares of common stock were issued and outstanding,
• 0 shares of common stock were reserved for issuance upon the exercise of stock options and warrants granted by us.
• 125,125 shares of Series A preferred stock, 36,500 shares of Series B preferred stock were issued and outstanding, and convertible into 1,183,990 shares of common stock.

Purpose of Amendment

The Board believes that it is advisable and in our best interests and those of our stockholders to have available additional authorized but unissued shares of common stock in order to maintain our flexibility to use such shares for business and/or financing purposes in the future. The newly authorized shares of capital stock, if and when issued and designated as common shares, will have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently authorized, issued and outstanding.

• Raising capital,
• Expanding our business through acquisitions and other strategic transactions,
• Paying stock dividends or effecting stock splits,
• Providing equity incentives to employees, officers and directors, and
• Other general corporate purposes.

We have issued or agreed to issue convertible securities which would, if converted, require issuance of approximately 72,000,000 shares of common stock which is more than the current authorized capital stock under our Amended Articles of Incorporation.

Like the currently authorized but unissued shares of our common stock, any additional shares of common stock authorized by this proposal would be available for issuance without further action by our stockholders, unless further action is required by law. The authorization of additional shares of common stock will enable us, as the need may arise, to take advantage of market conditions and favorable opportunities without the delay and expense associated with the holding of a special meeting of our stockholders.

Possible Effects of Increasing Our Authorized Capital Stock

The additional shares of capital stock, if issued and designated as common shares, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of common stock currently authorized, issued, and outstanding. Any issuance of additional shares of common stock would increase the number of outstanding shares of common stock and (unless such issuance was pro-rata among existing stockholders) the percentage ownership of existing stockholders would be diluted accordingly.

Although an increase in the authorized shares of our common stock could, under certain circumstances, also be construed as having an anti-takeover effect (for example, by permitting easier dilution of the stock ownership of a person seeking to effect a change in the composition of our Board or contemplating a tender offer or other transaction resulting in our acquisition by another company), the proposed increase in shares authorized is not in response to any effort by any person or group to accumulate our common stock or to obtain control of us by any means. In addition, the proposal is not part of any plan by our Board to recommend or implement a series of anti-takeover measures.

9

 
 

Resolution Adopting the Proposed Amendment

The following resolution, which will be presented at the Annual Meeting, will adopt the proposed amendment to our amended articles of incorporation to increase our authorized shares of capital stock:

RESOLVED, that the first two sentences of Article III of the Articles of Incorporation, are amended, is hereby amended to read as follows:

Article III

The aggregate number of shares which the corporation shall have the authority to issue is 500,000,000 shares of capital stock at $0.01 par value. The number of shares of common stock is designated at 499,000 and the number of one or more classes of preferred stock is 1,000,000.

The proposed increase in the authorized shares of capital stock would become effective immediately upon the filing of the Share Increase Amendment with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada. We expect to file the share Increase Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada promptly upon approval by our stockholders. However, the Board reserves its right to elect to abandon the share Increase Amendment if it determines, in its sole discretion, that this proposal is no longer in our best interests or those of our stockholders.



 

Our Board recommends a vote FOR approval of the amendment of our amended articles of incorporation to increase the number of authorized shares of our capital stock from 250,000,000 shares to 500,000,000 shares.

OTHER MATTERS

We participate in a procedure known as “householding.” This means that if you share the same last name with other stockholders living in your household, you may receive only one copy of our Notice. Pursuant to the SEC rules, stockholders of record who have the same address and last name and do not participate in electronic delivery of proxy materials will receive only one copy of our Notice, unless one or more of these stockholders notifies us that they wish to continue receiving individual copies. This procedure will reduce our printing costs and postage fees.

If you are eligible for householding, but you and other stockholders of record with whom you share an address currently receive multiple copies of the Notice, or if you hold stock in more than one account, and in either case you wish to receive only a single copy of each of the Notice for your household, please contact our Corporate Secretary at Seven Arts Entertainment Inc., 8439 Sunset Boulevard, Suite 402, West Hollywood, CA 90069, Attn: Katrin Hoffman or by telephone at (323) 372-3080.

If you participate in householding and wish to receive a separate copy of the Notice, or if you do not wish to participate in householding and prefer to receive separate copies in the future, please contact our Corporate Secretary as indicated above.

Beneficial owners can request information about householding from their banks, brokers or other holders of record.

The Board knows of no other matters that will be presented for consideration at our Annual Meeting. However, if other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the proxy holders will vote your shares in their discretion.

A COPY OF THE COMPANY’S PREDECESSOR’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 20-F WILL BE SENT WITHOUT CHARGE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER REQUESTING IT IN WRITING FROM: SEVEN ARTS ENTERTAINMENT INC., 8439 SUNSET BOULEVARD, SUITE 402, WEST HOLLYWOOD, CA 90069, ATTENTION: PETER HOFFMAN.

Appendix A

SEVEN ARTS ENTERTAINMENT INC.
AUDIT COMMITTEE CHARTER

Committee Role

The committee’s role is to act on behalf of the board of directors and oversee all material aspects of the company’s financial reporting, control and audit functions, except those specifically related to the responsibilities of another standing committee of the board. The audit committee’s role includes a particular focus on the qualitative aspects of financial reporting to the stockholders and on company processes for the management of business/financial risk and for compliance with significant applicable legal, ethical and regulatory requirements.

The role also includes coordination with other board committees and maintenance of strong, positive working relationships with management, external auditors, counsel and other committee advisors.

Committee Membership

The committee shall consist of three board members of which two of the board members must be independent, non-executive board members. Committee members shall have: (1) knowledge of the primary industries in which the company operates; (2) the ability to read and understand fundamental financial statements, including a company’s balance sheet, income statement, statement of cash flows and key performance indicators; and (3) the ability to understand key business and financial risks and related controls and control processes. The committee shall have access to its own counsel and other advisors at the committee’s sole discretion.

At least one member, preferably the chair, should be literate in business and financial reporting and control, including knowledge of the regulatory requirements, and should have past employment experience in finance or accounting or other comparable experience or background. Committee appointments shall be approved annually by the full board. The committee chairperson shall be selected by the committee members.

Committee Operating Principles

The committee shall fulfill its responsibilities within the context of the following overriding principles:

Communications

The chair and others on the committee shall, to the extent appropriate, maintain an open avenue of contact throughout the year with senior management, other committee chairs and other key committee advisors (external and internal auditors, etc.), as applicable, to strengthen the committee’s knowledge of relevant current and prospective business issues.

Education/Orientation

The committee, with management, shall develop and participate in a process for review of important financial and operating topics that present potential significant risk to the company. Additionally, the individual committee members are encouraged to participate in relevant and appropriate self-study education to ensure understanding of the business and environment in which the company operates.

Annual Plan

The committee, with input from management and other key committee advisors, shall develop an annual plan responsive to the “primary committee responsibilities” detailed herein. The annual plan shall be reviewed and approved by the full board.

Meeting Agenda

Committee meeting agendas shall be the responsibility of the committee chair, with input from the committee members. It is expected that the chair would also ask for management and key committee advisors, and perhaps others, to participate in this process.

Expectations and Information Needs

The committee shall communicate committee expectations and the nature, timing, and extent of committee information needs to management, internal auditors and external parties, including external

A-1

 
 

auditors. Written materials, including key performance indicators and measures related to key business and financial risks, shall be received from management, auditors and others at least 3 business days in advance of meeting dates. Meeting conduct will assume committee members have reviewed written materials in sufficient depth to participate in committee/board dialogue.

External Resources

The committee shall be authorized to access internal and external resources, as the committee requires, to carry out its’ responsibilities.

Meeting Attendees

The committee shall request members of management, counsel, internal and external auditors, as applicable, to participate in committee meetings, as necessary, to carry out the committee’s responsibilities. Periodically and at least annually, the committee shall meet in private session with only the committee members. It shall be understood that either internal or external auditors, or counsel, may, at any time, request a meeting with the audit committee or committee chair with or without management’s attendance. In any case, the committee shall meet in executive session separately with internal and external auditors, at least annually.

Meeting Frequency

The committee shall meet at least semi-annually. Additional meetings shall be scheduled as considered necessary by the committee or chair.

Reporting to the Board of Directors

The committee, through the committee chair, shall report periodically, as deemed necessary, but at least semiannually, to the full board. In addition, summarized minutes from committee meetings, separately identifying monitoring activities from approvals, shall be available to each board member at least one week prior to the subsequent board of director’s meeting.

Self-Assessment

The committee shall review, discuss and assess its own performance as well as its role and responsibilities, seeking input from senior management, the full board and others. Changes in role and/or responsibilities, if any, shall be recommended to the full board for approval.
