In addition, the Company has stated that it anticipates that the Investors will subsequently receive an aggregate of 45,000 shares of Series A convertible preferred stock (“Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, of the Company with a conversion price of $9.54 per share in exchange for the Notes and for no other additional consideration. Each Investor will surrender notes in a principal amount equal to $1,000 for each share of Preferred Stock. The consummation of the Purchase Agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including the effectiveness of shareholder approval of (i) the creation of a new class of preferred stock, (ii) the creation of a new series of preferred stock designated Series A convertible preferred stock and (iii) the potential issuance of greater than 20% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants.
