10. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Preferred Stock

 

As of December 31, 2013, there were 335,273 shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at an issue price of $10.00 per share. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of original issuance at the annual rate of 6% of the liquidation preference of the Preferred Stock, payable quarterly on the first day of February, May, August and November, commencing February 1, 2005. Any dividends must be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors and must come from funds that are legally available for dividend payments. The Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $10 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.

 

The Preferred Stock is convertible at the option of the holder at any time into the Company’s shares of common stock at a conversion rate of approximately 0.06079 shares of common stock for each share of Preferred Stock based on a price of $164.50. The Company has reserved 20,381 shares of common stock for issuance upon conversion of the remaining shares of Preferred Stock outstanding at December 31, 2013. The shares of previously-converted Preferred Stock have been retired, cancelled and restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, subject to reissuance by the Board of Directors as shares of Preferred Stock of one or more series.

 

The Company may automatically convert the Preferred Stock into common stock if the closing price of the Company’s common stock has exceeded $246.75, which is 150% of the conversion price of the Preferred Stock, for at least 20 trading days during any 30-day trading period, ending within five trading days prior to notice of automatic conversion.

 

The Certificate of Designations governing the Preferred Stock provides that if the Company fails to pay dividends on its Preferred Stock for six quarterly periods, holders of Preferred Stock are entitled to nominate and elect two directors to the Company’s Board of Directors. This right accrued to the holders of Preferred Stock as of August 2, 2010 and two directors were nominated and elected at the annual meeting held on May 24, 2011.

 

The Preferred Stock has no maturity date and no voting rights prior to conversion into common stock, except under limited circumstances.

 

The Company may, at its option, redeem the Preferred Stock in whole or in part, out of funds legally available at the redemption prices per share stated below, plus an amount equal to accrued and unpaid dividends up to the date of redemption:

 

Year from November 1, 2012 to October 31, 2013   $ 10.12  
Year from November 1, 2013 to October 31, 2014   $ 10.06  
November 1, 2014 and thereafter   $ 10.00  

 

The Preferred Stock is exchangeable, in whole but not in part, at the option of the Company on any dividend payment date beginning on November 1, 2005 (the “Exchange Date”) for the Company’s 6% Convertible Subordinated Debentures (“Debentures”) at the rate of $10 principal amount of Debentures for each share of Preferred Stock. The Debentures, if issued, will mature 25 years after the Exchange Date and have terms substantially similar to those of the Preferred Stock. No such exchanges have taken place to date.

 

Conversion of Convertible Preferred Stock

 

During 2013, Cyclacel entered into agreements to exchange the Company’s Preferred Stock into shares of common stock. There were no exchanges of the Company’s Preferred Stock into shares of common stock during the year ended December 31, 2011 or 2012. The table below provides details of the aggregate activities in 2013:

 

    Year ended
December 31,
2013		  
Preferred shares exchanged     877,869  
Common shares issued:        
At stated convertible option     53,366  
Incremental shares issued under the exchange transaction     1,631,105  
Total common shares issued     1,684,471  

 

As the Preferred Stock stockholders received additional shares of common stock issued to them upon conversion as compared to what they would have been entitled to receive under the stated rate of exchange, the Company recorded the excess of (1) the fair value of all securities and other consideration transferred to the holders of the Preferred Stock and (2) the fair value of securities issuable pursuant to the original conversion terms as an increase in the net loss attributable to common shareholders. Specifically, the Company recorded deemed dividends related to the additional shares issued under the exchange transactions of $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013.

November 2013 Stock Purchase Agreement

 

The December 14, 2012 common stock purchase agreement with Aspire was terminated on November 14, 2013, and on that day, the Company entered into a new common stock purchase agreement with Aspire.

Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Aspire has committed to purchase up to an additional 3,042,038 shares from time to time as directed by the Company or, in certain instances, as agreed to by both parties, over the next two years at prices derived from the market prices on or near the date of each sale. However, such commitment is limited to an additional $18.0 million of share purchases. In consideration for entering into the Purchase Agreement, concurrent with the execution of the Purchase Agreement, the Company issued 166,105 shares of the Company’s common stock to Aspire in lieu of a commitment fee. The value of these shares has been recorded as a component of other assets and is being amortized over the term of the Purchase Agreement on a straight-line basis, except to the extent that shares are purchased on an accelerated basis, in which case the Company will accelerate the amortization of the deferred charge.

Under the terms of the purchase agreement, Aspire committed to purchase up to an additional 1,455,787 shares from time to time as directed by the Company over the next two years at prices derived from the market prices on or near the date of each sale. However, such commitment was limited to an additional $19.0 million of share purchases. In consideration for entering into the purchase agreement, concurrent with the execution of the purchase agreement, the Company issued 74,548 shares of its common stock to Aspire for no consideration. The fair value of the 74,548 shares of common stock along with the direct costs incurred in the connection with the Aspire transaction have been allocated to the shares sold at inception of this agreement and the right to sell additional shares in the future based on the ratio of shares sold at inception to the listed shares subject to this agreement. As a result, the Company recorded an expense of $0.4 million on its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012.

The warrants issued to the investors are being accounted for as a liability. At the date of the transaction, the fair value of the warrants of $6.8 million was determined utilizing the Black-Scholes option pricing model utilizing the following assumptions: risk free interest rate - 4.58%, expected volatility - 85%, expected dividend yield - 0%, and a remaining contractual life of 6.88 years. The value of the warrant is being remeasured each reporting period as a derivative gain or loss on the consolidated statement of operations until exercised or expiration. The Company determined that the warrants had no value at December 31, 2012 and 2013 because of the market price of the Company’s common stock compared to the exercise price of the warrants and the expiration of the warrants in February 2014. The Company recognized the change in the value of warrants of $0.6 million and $0.1 million as gains on the consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. There was no change in the value of warrants for the year ended December 31, 2013.
