The Company received $37,620,000 in net proceeds from the sale of the shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, after offering expenses.  In addition to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, which was issued at the closing, the Company also authorized Series B-2 Voting Convertible Preferred Stock (Series B-2 Preferred Stock).  The Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Series B-2 Preferred Stock collectively are referred to as the Series B Preferred Stock. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock is not entitled to vote on matters on which the common shareholders are generally entitled to vote. The Series B-2 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the common stock as a single class, with each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock having the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such Series B-2 Preferred Stock.  On May 3, 2012, shareholder approval was obtained in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(b), which allowed the holder of Series B-1 Preferred Stock to exchange all of the then outstanding shares for shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock on a one-for-one basis.  The Series B Preferred Stock will, with respect to dividend rights and rights on liquidation, winding-up and dissolution, rank on parity with any other class or series of the Company capital stock that the Company may issue in the future which is designated as being on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock, and rank senior to our common stock and Series A preferred stock (45,000 shares authorized and zero issued and outstanding). The Series B Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the holder thereof at any time after the five year anniversary of the closing of the offering, into shares of common stock at a conversion price of $3.25 per share of common stock. At any time after the five year anniversary of issuance, the Company may elect to convert any or all outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock, subject to certain limitations.  Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock will be cumulative and compound daily, at a rate of 11.5% per annum, payable upon conversion, liquidation, redemption or other similar events, and payable in cash or Series B-1 Preferred Stock until the five year anniversary of issuance.  Following the five year anniversary of issuance and until the earlier of the tenth anniversary of the issuance and the date no Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding, dividends will accrue at a rate of 8% per annum and will be payable in cash or Series B-1 Preferred Stock, at our option.  Unless prohibited by Michigan law governing distributions to shareholders, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock shall be redeemable at the option of holder of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock commencing at any time after the five year anniversary of issuance, liquidation, winding up, dissolution or other similar events, subject to certain terms and limitations.

 

The Series B Preferred Stock does not, in its entirety, require liability classification and has been evaluated for embedded features to determine if those features require bifurcation and separate classification as derivative liabilities. The Series B Preferred Stock host contract was evaluated for equity or mezzanine classification based upon the nature of the redemption and conversion features. Generally, any feature that could require cash redemption for matters not within the Company’s control, irrespective of probability of the event occurring, requires classification outside of stockholders’ equity. The Series B Preferred Stock has been recorded as mezzanine of the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and will be accreted to its redemption value through charges to stockholders’ deficit using the effective interest method.

 

The carrying value of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock presented as mezzanine in the consolidated financial statements is $2,668,000, as of September 30, 2012.  As of September 30, 2012, there are no outstanding shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock; however, as the Series B-1 Preferred Stock dividends can be redeemed for cash, the Company is required to accrete to the carrying value of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock to its redemption value of $31,102,000 by charges to accumulated deficit using the effective interest method.  Such accretion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 amounted to $2,668,000. The redemption value is determined by the greater of the conversion price of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock or the common stock price, multiplied by the total accumulated dividends at the five year anniversary of issuance.
