STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

Note 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY

Issuance of Series A Preferred Stock and Related Financings

Preferred Stock

During 2016 we issued shares of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series A Preferred Stock”) in a series of private financings. The shares were converted into shares of our common stock in connection with the public offering of our common stock in July 2017 (the “Public Offering”).

The shares of Series A Preferred Stock had a stated value of $10.00 per share and are were initially convertible into shares of common stock at a price of $4.92 per share (subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events). When issued, the dividend rate on the Series A Preferred Stock was 12% per annum, payable quarterly and was to increase to 15% per annum if we were to issue additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“PIK Shares”) in lieu of payment of cash dividends payable until June 15, 2018, and to 16% per annum after June 2018, 19% per annum to the extent dividends were paid in additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock (“PIK Shares”). In July 2017, the Company amended the Certificate of Designation authorizing the issuance of the Series A Preferred Stock to provide for the automatic conversion of the outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock into common stock at a conversion price of $1.50 per share (a conversion rate of 6.6667 shares of common stock per share of Series A Preferred Stock), the offering price of the shares of common stock in the Public Offering, subject to stockholder approval in accordance with the applicable rules of the NYSE MKT, which was subsequently obtained on October 3, 2017 at the Company’s 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders., In addition, the amendment to the Certificate of Designation eliminated the liquidation preference and quarterly dividend payable to holders of the Series A Preferred Stock. Under the terms of the amendment, holders of the Series A Preferred Stock were to share ratably with the holders of the common stock on an as-converted basis (2.0325 shares of common stock for each share of Series A Preferred Stock held of record) with respect to dividends declared, paid or set aside for payment, assets available for distribution to stockholders upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, in addition to voting upon the election of directors and other matters submitted to stockholders for approval, except for matters requiring a class vote of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock specified in the Certificate of Designation or under applicable law.

On October 3, 2017, holders of 1,294,551 outstanding shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 8,629,606 shares of common stock.

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company had no outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock.
