Redeemable Preferred Stock

Note 14. Redeemable Preferred Stock


Ronco has 200 authorized shares of Preferred Stock, $0.0001 par value. Ronco has designated 100 of such shares as Series A Preferred Stock with a stated value of $27,000 per share. On January 14, 2011, Ronco issued 100 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock as part of the consideration for its purchase of certain assets of Ronco Acquisition, LLC.


Redemption


Ronco had the option to redeem all or part of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock at any time by paying the holders consideration per share equal to the Stated Value as follows: (1) A cash payment in the amount of $13,500 per share; and (2) the balance by issuing and delivering a non-interest bearing promissory note acceptable to the holders in an amount of $13,500 per share maturing on the first anniversary of the date in which the Series A Preferred Stock was redeemed. In the event Ronco did not redeem the Series A Preferred Stock by January 14, 2013, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to cause Ronco to redeem all or part of the Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding. The redemption price is payable by Ronco by the issuance and delivery of a non-interest bearing promissory note in the amount of $27,000 per share redeemed, maturing as to 1/3 of the principal amount on the 13th day after the redemption date, as to the next 1/3 of the principal amount 210 days after the redemption date, and as to the balance thereafter 395 days after the redemption date. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock must provide at least 15 days written notice to Ronco in order to redeem all or a part of the Series A Preferred Stock shares and the holder may exercise their rights on one occasion in any twelve month period. Therefore since none of these conditions occurred during the year ended December 31, 2013 and during the six months ended June 30, 2014 these shares do not reach the level of being considered mandatorily redeemable and are classified as mezzanine.


Other material features of the Series A Preferred Stock are as follows:

In the event of a liquidation or dissolution and winding up of Ronco, whether voluntary or involuntary, the assets of Ronco shall be distributed first to the holders of record of the Series A Preferred Stock, who shall be entitled to receive ratably in full, out of the remaining and lawfully available assets of any nature of Ronco, whether such assets are stated capital or surplus, an amount in cash per outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to its Stated Value.
