Note 12: Subsequent Events

Reduction in Force

        On January 28, 2016, the Company committed to effect a reduction in the Company's workforce and associated operating expenses, net loss and cash burn and to realign resources, as the Company has substantially concluded development of new products, including its third generation Bandwidth Engine IC product family, and expects to bring these products to market in 2016. The Company reduced United States headcount by approximately 16% and will cease operations at its subsidiary in Hyderabad, India, which has 18 employees. The Company anticipates that it will fully implement the planned reductions by the end of the second quarter of 2016. As a result of these reductions, the Company expects to incur total termination charges of up to $0.8 million, including $0.6 million of charges for severance benefits and other one-time termination costs. The remaining charges represent lease obligations, asset impairments and other expenses related to the Company's Indian subsidiary. The Company expects that substantially all of these charges will be recognized in the quarter ending March 31, 2016, and will result in cash expenditures of up to $1.0 million, which are expected to be paid during the first and second quarters of 2016. The Company expects to realize approximately $3.2 million of savings on an annual basis from the reductions.

Convertible Notes

        On March 14, 2016, the Company entered into a 10% Senior Secured Convertible Note Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with the purchasers of $8,000,000 principal amount of 10% Senior Secured Convertible Notes due August 15, 2018 (the "Notes"), at par, in a private placement transaction effected pursuant to an exemption from the registration requirements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The conversion price of the Notes is $0.90 per share and is subject to adjustment upon certain events as set forth in the Purchase Agreement. Pursuant to a security agreement entered into by the Company, the Notes are secured by a security interest in all of the assets of the Company.

        The Notes bear interest at the annual rate of 10%. Accrued interest is payable semi-annually in cash or in kind through the issuance of identical new Notes, or with a combination of the two, at the Company's option. The Notes are noncallable and nonredeemable by the Company. The Notes are redeemable at the election of the holders if the Company experiences a fundamental change (as defined in the Notes), which generally would occur in the event (i) any person acquires beneficial ownership of shares of common stock of the Company entitling such person to exercise at least 40% of the total voting power of all of the shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote generally in elections of directors, (ii) an acquisition of the Company by another person through a merger or consolidation, or the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the Company's assets, or (iii) the Company's current directors cease to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company within a 12-month period, disregarding for this purpose any director who voluntarily resigns as a director or dies while serving as a director. The redemption price is 120% of the principal amount of the Note to be repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest as of the redemption date.
