Preferred Stock

13. Preferred Stock

 

The Company has the authority to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share, consisting of 10,270 authorized shares originally designated as series A through E with designations subsequently eliminated, 2,000 authorized shares designated as “Series F Convertible Preferred Stock,” none of which are outstanding, 1,800 authorized shares designated as “Series G Convertible Preferred Stock” (as further described below), of which 168.496 shares are outstanding as of September 30, 2018, and 23,000 authorized shares designated as “Series H Convertible Preferred Stock” (as further described below), of which 19,399.25 shares are outstanding as of September 30, 2018.

 

Series G Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On May 30, 2000, the Company sold 1,800 shares of its Series G Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series G Preferred Stock”) and warrants, which expired on November 29, 2003, to purchase 63,000 shares of common stock to four investors. The Series G Preferred Stock has a stated value of $1,000 per share and is convertible into shares of common stock, at the option of the holder, subject to certain limitations. The Series G Preferred Stock was initially convertible into common stock at a conversion price equal to 85% of the lowest sale price of the common stock over the five trading days preceding the date of the conversion, subject to a maximum conversion price of $16.30, adjusted for a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective July 26, 2007. The Company may require holders to convert all (but not less than all) of the Series G Preferred Stock at any time after November 30, 2003 or buy out all outstanding shares of Series G Preferred Stock at the then conversion price. Holders of Series G Preferred Stock are not entitled to dividends and have no voting rights, unless required by law or with respect to certain matters relating to the Series G Preferred Stock.

 

Prior to November 2001, 1,631.504 of the initial 1,800 shares of Series G Preferred Stock were converted into the Company’s common stock by the holders thereof. No conversions have taken place since November 2001. The remaining 168.496 shares continue to be outstanding.

 

Upon a change in control, sale of or similar transaction, as defined in the Certificate of Designation for the Series G Preferred Stock, the holder of the Series G Preferred Stock has the option to deem such transaction as a liquidation and may redeem their 168.496 shares at the liquidation value of $1,000 per share, or an aggregate amount of $168,496. The sale of all the assets of the Company on June 28, 2007 triggered the redemption option. As such redemption was not in the control of the Company, the Series G Preferred Stock has been accounted for as if it was redeemable preferred stock and is classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as a mezzanine obligation between liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

 

Series H Convertible Preferred Stock

 

On August 10, 2018, the Company closed on a securities purchase agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with certain accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company issued an aggregate of 19,399.25 shares of Series H Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series H Preferred Stock”) at a stated value of $1,000, initially convertible into 58,785,606 shares of the Company’s common stock, at the option of the holder subject to certain limitations, at a conversion rate equal to the stated value divided by the conversion price of $0.33 per share (the “Conversion Price”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $19,399,250. Of the shares of Series H Preferred Stock issued, 5,730 shares were issued upon conversion of an aggregate principal amount of $4,775,000, plus prepayment obligations of $955,000, of the 10% Convertible Debentures issued by the Company on June 15, 2018 to certain accredited investors, including 1,200 shares of Series H Preferred Stock issued to Heckman Maven Fund L.P. (affiliated with James Heckman, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer), and 30 shares of Series H Preferred Shares issued to Josh Jacobs, the Company’s President.

 

B. Riley FBR, Inc. (“B. Riley FBR”) is a registered broker-dealer owned by B. Riley Financial, Inc., a diversified publicly traded financial services company (“B. Riley”), which acted as placement agent for the Series H Preferred Stock financing. In consideration for its services as placement agent, the Company paid B. Riley FBR a cash fee of $575,000 (including a previously paid retainer of $75,000) and issued to B. Riley FBR 669.25 shares (stated value of $1,000 per share) of Series H Preferred Stock. In addition, entities affiliated with B. Riley FBR purchased 5,592 shares of Series H Preferred Stock in the financing (total issuance cost of $1,194,546).

 

The terms of Series H Preferred Stock and the number of shares of common stock issuable is adjustable in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations of shares and similar transactions. In addition, if at any time prior to the nine month anniversary of the closing date, the Company sells or grants any option or right to purchase or issues any shares of common stock, or securities convertible into shares of common stock, with net proceeds in excess of $1,000,000 in the aggregate, entitling any person to acquire shares of common stock at an effective price per share that is lower than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Conversion Price”), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced to equal the Base Conversion Price. All the shares of Series H Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of common stock on the fifth anniversary of the closing date at the then Conversion Price.

 

In addition, if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any common stock equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of common stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then a holder of the Series H Preferred Stock will be entitled to acquire the aggregate Purchase Rights which the holder could have acquired if the holder had held the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon complete conversion of such holder’s Series H Preferred Stock immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, subject to certain conditions, adjustments and limitations.

 

Pursuant to the registration rights agreement entered into on August 10, 2018 in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company agreed to register the shares issuable upon conversion of the Series H Preferred Stock for resale by the holders. The Company committed to file the registration statement by no later than 75 days after the closing date and to cause the registration statement to become effective, in general, by no later than 120 days after the closing date (or, in the event of a full review by the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), 150 days following the closing date). The registration rights agreement provides for a cash payment equal to 1.0% per month of the amount invested as partial liquidated damages upon the occurrence of certain events, on each monthly anniversary, payable within 7 days of such event, up to a maximum amount of 6.0% of the aggregate amount invested, subject to interest at 12.0% per annum, accruing daily, until paid in full. The Company recognized $1,347,254 of Liquidating Damages during the three months ended September 30, 2018, with respect to its registration rights agreement (see Note 10).

 

The Securities Purchase Agreement included a provision that requires the Company to maintain its periodic filings with the SEC in order to satisfy the Public Information Failure Payments requirements under Rule 144(c) of the Securities Act. If the Company fails for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement after 6 months of the closing date, then the Company will be obligated to pay to each holder a cash payment equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested for each 30-day period, or pro rata portion thereof, as partial liquidated damages per month, up to a maximum of 6 months, subject to interest at the rate of 1.0% per month until paid in full. The Company recognized $1,305,544 of Liquidating Damages during the three months ended September 30, 2018, with respect to its public information requirements (see Note 10).

 

During the three months ended September 30, 2018, in connection with the 19,399.25 Series H Preferred Stock issuance, the Company recorded a beneficial conversion feature in the amount of $18,045,496 for the underlying common shares since the nondetachable conversion feature was in-the-money (the Conversion Price of $0.33 was lower than the Company’s common stock trading price of $0.86) at the issuance date. The beneficial conversion feature was recognized as a deemed dividend.
