Item 1. Security and Issuer.
  This statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") relates to the Common Stock, par value $0.001 (the "Common Stock"), of Brightcove, Inc. (the "Issuer"). The address of the principal executive offices of the Issuer is 290 Congress Street, 4th Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02210.
   
   
Item 2.

Identity and Background.

 

    (a)-(c)

This Schedule 13D is being filed jointly by (i) Edenbrook Capital, LLC ("Edenbrook"), a New York limited liability company, as the investment manager to certain private investment funds, with respect to Common Stock owned by such private investment funds, and (ii) Jonathan Brolin ("Mr. Brolin"), a United States citizen and the principal of Edenbrook with respect to the Common Stock owned by such private investment funds (collectively, the "Reporting Persons").

 

Mr. Brolin's present principal occupation or employment is acting as a private investor. The principal business address of Mr. Brolin and Edenbrook is 2 Depot Plaza, Bedford Hills, New York 10507. Mr. Brolin is the Managing Member of Edenbrook and, as such, is in the position to determine the investment and voting decisions made by Edenbrook.

 

 
    (d)

None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

 

 
    (e) None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, Federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws.  
           

 

 

 
 

 

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

 

Shares reported represent 1,811,472 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.

 

The net investment costs (including commissions, if any) of the Common Stock directly owned by the private investment funds advised by Edenbrook is approximately $11,159,555. The Common Stock was purchased with the investment capital of the private investment funds advised by Edenbrook.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

 

 

The Reporting Persons hold the securities described in Item 5 of this statement for investment purposes only.

 

The Reporting Persons have added to their investment in the Issuer because we believe the shares of the Issuer are materially undervalued. Despite some uneven financial performance by the Company over the past year, the Reporting Persons believe that based on the strength of reported bookings growth in the past several earnings calls, the Issuer is likely on the verge of returning to double-digit revenue growth during 2018. Further, the Reporting Persons believe that this revenue growth, combined with Issuer cost controls, are likely to see the Issuer return to profitability and free cash flow generation in 2018, with the opportunity for continued, meaningful operating leverage in future years. At a discount to the low end of where private market transactions have taken place, we believe that the Issuer is worth at least 80-100% above its current trading price. Given the steep discount and our expectations for meaningful operating improvements in the near term, we believe that the Board of Directors will have multiple paths for creating value for all shareholders. The Reporting Persons believe that the Issuer is the market share leader in a secularly growing industry and has an attractive business model, with high levels of recurring revenue and an opportunity for significant operating leverage and cash generation. If the market does not recognize this value, we expect that the Board of Directors will take the appropriate strategic and financial steps to do so.

 

No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) - (j) of Item 4 of Section 13D except as set forth herein. The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Issuer's financial position and investment strategy, the price levels of the Shares, conditions in the securities markets and general economic and industry conditions, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure or operations of the Issuer, purchasing additional Shares, selling some or all of their Shares, engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in Item 4.
