QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE SPECIAL MEETING

 

What is a proxy?

 

A proxy is another person that you legally designate to vote your stock. If you designate someone as your proxy in a written document, that document is also called a “proxy” or a “proxy card.” If you are a “street name” holder, you must obtain a proxy from your broker or nominee in order to vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting.

 

What is a proxy statement?

 

A proxy statement is a document that regulations of the SEC require that we give to you when we ask you to sign a proxy card to vote your stock at the Special Meeting.

 

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of paper copies of the proxy materials?

We are using Notice and Access model (“Notice and Access”), which allows us to deliver proxy materials over the Internet, as the primary means of furnishing proxy materials. We believe Notice and Access provides stockholders with a convenient method to access the proxy materials and vote, while allowing us to conserve natural resources and reduce the costs of printing and distributing the proxy materials. On or about                 , 2019, we began mailing to stockholders a Notice of Internet Availability containing instructions on how to access our proxy materials on the Internet and how to vote online.The Notice of Internet Availability is not a proxy card and cannot be used to vote your shares. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability this year, you will not receive paper copies of the proxy materials unless you request the materials by following the instructions on the Notice of Internet Availability.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a “street name” holder?

If your shares are registered directly in your name with V-Stock Transfer LLC, the Company’s stock transfer agent, you are considered the stockholder of record with respect to those shares. The proxy statement and proxy card have been sent directly to you by the Company.

If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, the nominee is considered the record holder of those shares. You are considered the beneficial owner of these shares, and your shares are held in “street name.” The proxy statement and the proxy card have been forwarded to you by your nominee. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your nominee concerning how to vote your shares by using the voting instructions the nominee included in the mailing or by following such nominee’s instructions for voting.

The proxy is fairly simple to complete, with specific instructions on the electronic ballot, telephone or card. By completing and submitting it,a proxy, you will direct the designated persons (known as “proxies”) to vote your stock at the Special Meeting in accordance with your instructions. The Board has appointed Brian Murphy, our chief executive officer and director and James Cardwell, our Chief Financial Officer,Stephen Brown to serve as the proxies for the Special Meeting.

 

In order to be counted, proxies submitted by telephone or Internet must be received by 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on March 30, 2021. Proxies submitted by U.S. mail must be received before the start of the Special Meeting.

Your proxy will be valid only if you complete and return it before the Special Meeting. If you properly complete and transmitvoted according to your proxy but do not provide voting instructions with respect to a proposal, then the designated proxies will vote your shares “FOR” each proposal as to which you provide no voting instructions. We do not anticipate that any other matters will come before the Special Meeting, but if any other matters properly come before the meeting, then the designated proxies will vote your shares in accordance with applicable law and their judgment.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” your bank, broker or other nominee should provide to you a request for voting instructions along with the Company’s proxy solicitation materials. By completing the voting instruction card, you may direct your nominee how to vote your shares. If you partially complete the voting instruction but fail to complete one or more of the voting instructions, then your nominee may be unable to vote your shares with respect to the proposal as to which you provide no voting instructions. See “What is a broker non-vote?” Alternatively, if you want to vote your shares in person at the Special Meeting, you must contact your nominee directly in order to obtain a proxy issued to you by your nominee holder. Note that a broker letter that identifies you as a stockholder is not the same as a nominee-issued proxy.If you fail to bring a nominee-issued proxy to the Special Meeting, you will not be able to vote your nominee-held shares in person at the Special Meeting.

Who counts the votes?

All votes will be tabulated by Brian Murphy, the inspector of election appointed for the Special Meeting. Each proposal will be tabulated separately.

Can I vote my shares in person at the Special Meeting?

Yes. If you are a stockholder of record you may vote your shares at the meeting by completing a ballot at the Special Meeting.

If you hold your shares in “street name,” you may vote your shares in person only if you obtain a proxy issued by your bank, broker or other nominee giving you the right to vote the shares.

Even if you currently plan to attend the Special Meeting, we recommend that you also return your proxy or voting instructions as described above so that your votes will be counted if you later decide not to attend the Special Meeting or are unable to attend.

What is a broker non-vote?

Broker non-votes occur when shares are held indirectly through a broker, bank or other intermediary on behalf of a beneficial owner (referred to as held in “street name”) and the broker submits a proxy but does not vote for a matter because the broker has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner and (i) the broker does not have discretionary voting authority on the matter or (ii) the broker chooses not to vote on a matter for which it has discretionary voting authority.

With respect to the to the proposal to approve an amendment of the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation to increase the authorized preferred stock of the Company from 5,000,000 shares to 11,000,000 shares (Proposal 3), your broker will have the discretion to vote your shares and, therefore, will be able to vote your shares with respect to such proposals even if you do not provide your broker with instructions on those proposals.

If I am a beneficial owner of shares, can my brokerage firm vote my shares?

If you are a beneficial owner and do not vote via the Internet or telephone or by returning a signed voting instructionproxy card, to your broker, your shares maywill not be voted only with respect to so-called “routine” matters whereunless you virtually attend the Special Meeting and vote your broker has discretionary voting authority over your shares. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which apply to brokers regardless of whether an issuer is listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ, only Proposal Three is a “routine” matter. Accordingly, brokers will have discretionary authority to vote only on Proposal Three.

If you are a beneficial owner and do not vote via the Internet or telephone and do not specify contrary voting instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with the recommendations of our Board on all matters, and in the discretion of proxy holders as to any other matters that may properly come before the meeting or by returning a signedany adjournment, continuation or postponement thereof. Similarly, if you sign and submit your proxy card or voting instruction card to your broker, your broker will not be permitted to votewith no instructions, your shares will be voted in accordance with respectthe recommendations of our Board on all matters, and in the discretion of proxy holders as to Proposal One, Proposal Twoany other matters that may properly come before the meeting or Proposal Four, as underany adjournment, continuation or postponement thereof. We know of no other business to be considered at the rulesSpecial Meeting.

If your shares are registered in the name of the NYSE these proposals are “non-routine.” If a broker, holding shares returns an executed proxy card that indicates thatbank or other nominee (typically referred to as being held in “street name”), there are four ways to vote:

(1)By Internet at www.proxyvote.com 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on March 30, 2021 (have your 16-digit stockholder control number, which can be found on your voting instruction form, in hand when you access the website);

Your broker will vote your shares on Proposal One, Proposal Two and Proposal Four only if you provide instructions on how to vote, by following the instructions, they provide to you. Accordingly, we encourage youyour broker will have authority to vote promptly, even ifyour shares. Under the rules that govern brokers who are voting with respect to shares that are held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on “routine” matters, but not on “non-routine” matters. The NYSE has informed us that each of the Share Increase Ratification, the Amendment Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal is a “routine” matter. Accordingly, your broker, bank or other nominee may vote your shares without receiving instructions from you planon Proposal 1 (Share Increase Ratification), Proposal 2 (Amendment Proposal) and Proposal 3 (Adjournment Proposal).

What is a “quorum?”

A quorum is the minimum number of shares required to be present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting to properly hold a meeting of stockholders and conduct business under our bylaws and Delaware law. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the voting power of all issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock, Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock entitled to vote on the Record Date will constitute a quorum at the Special Meeting. Abstentions, withheld votes, and broker non-votes will be counted as shares present and entitled to vote for the purposes of determining a quorum for the Special Meeting. “Broker non-votes” occur when brokers, banks or other nominees that hold shares on behalf of beneficial owners do not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owners prior to the meeting and do not have discretionary voting authority to vote those shares; however, as discussed above, all proposals currently scheduled to be considered at the Special Meeting are “routine,” and accordingly, we do not expect any broker non-votes.

PROPOSAL 1

 

Who can help answer my questions?Ratification of the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

and the Issuance of Common Stock Upon Conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock

and the Exercise of Certain December 2021 Warrants and the Pre-Existing Warrants

Our Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to ratify, pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL, the increase in the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock from 20,000,000 shares to 24,109,635 shares and the issuance of 4,109,635 shares of Common Stock upon conversion of certain shares of Series C Preferred Stock (as described below) and the exercise of certain December 2021 Warrants and Pre-Existing Warrants (as described below). This ratification will be retroactive to December 4, 2020, the date of the first such overissue.

Background

As of December 3, 2020, we had 20,000,000 authorized shares of our Common Stock and 19,850,014 shares of Common Stock outstanding resulting in 149,986 shares of Common Stock being available for issuance.

On December 4, 2020, certain holders of our Series C Preferred Stock converted 396,509 shares of Series C Preferred Stock into 396,509 shares of Common Stock, resulting in an overissue of 246,523 shares of Common Stock, as more particularly described in Exhibit A to the resolutions adopted by our Board attached to this proxy statement as Appendix A.

Beginning on December 15, 2020, through January 22, 2021, certain holders of warrants we had issued in December 2020 (the “December 2020 Warrants”) exercised a portion of the December 2020 Warrants for 2,657,144 shares of Common Stock, resulting in an additional overissue of 2,657,144 shares of Common Stock, as more particularly described in Exhibit B attached to Appendix A of this proxy statement.

On January 22, 2020, a holder of warrants we have previously issued in various offerings (the “Pre-Existing Warrants”) exercised a portion of the Pre-Existing Warrants for 1,205,968 shares of Common Stock, resulting in an additional overissue of 1,205,968 shares of Common Stock, as more particularly described in Exhibit C attached to Appendix A of this proxy statement. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that has been overissued by the Company is 4,109,635.

Our Board, in consultation with counsel, has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to ratify an increase in the number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 20,000,000 to 24,109,635, an increase of 4,109,635 shares (the “Authorized Share Increase”), and the issuance of 4,109,635 shares of Common Stock (the “Authorized Share Increase Issuance”) upon the conversion of certain shares of Series C Preferred Stock and the exercise of certain December 2020 Warrants and Pre-Existing Warrants pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL to eliminate any uncertainty related to the effectiveness of the issuance of such putative shares of Common Stock. If the Share Increase Ratification is approved by our stockholders and becomes effective, the ratification will be retroactive to December 4, 2020, which was the date of the first such overissue.

Among other consequences, the Share Increase Ratification will confirm that, since December 4, 2020, all of the 4,259,621 shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock and the exercise of the December 2020 Warrants and the Pre-Existing Warrants will have been duly authorized and validly issued.

Our Board Has Approved the Share Increase Ratification and the Authorized Share Increase Issuance

Section 204 of the DGCL allows a Delaware corporation, by following specified procedures, to ratify a corporate act retroactive to the date the corporate act was originally taken. Our Board determined that it would be advisable and in the best interests of the Company and our stockholders to ratify the Authorized Share Increase and Authorized Share Increase Issuance, each as described in this Proposal 1, pursuant to Section 204 of the DGCL and Delaware common law in order to eliminate any uncertainty related to the due authorization and validity of such shares of Common Stock and unanimously adopted the resolutions attached hereto as Appendix A (such resolutions are incorporated herein by reference) approving the Share Increase Ratification. Our Board also recommended that our stockholders approve the Share Increase Ratification for purposes of Section 204 of the DGCL and Delaware common law, and directed that the Share Increase Ratification be submitted to our stockholders for approval.

The text of sections 204 and 205 of the DGCL are attached hereto as Appendix B.

Filing of a Certificate of Validation

Upon the receipt of the required vote of the stockholders to approve the Share Increase Ratification, we intend to file a certificate of validation with respect to the Authorized Share Increase and the Authorized Share Increase Issuance with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Certificate of Validation”). The time that the filing of the Certificate of Validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL will be the validation effective time of the Share Increase Ratification within the meaning of Section 204 of the DGCL.

Retroactive Ratification of the Authorized Share Increase and the Authorized Share Increase Issuance

Subject to the 120-day period for bringing claims discussed below, when the Certificate of Validation becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL, it should eliminate any possible uncertainty as to whether the shares of Common Stock issued in the Authorized Share Increase Issuance are void or voidable as a result of the potential failure of authorization described above, and the effect of the ratification will be retroactive to December 4, 2020, which was the date of the first such overissue.

Time Limitations on Legal Challenges to the Ratification of the Authorized Share Increase and the Authorized Share Increase Issuance

If the Share Increase Ratification becomes effective, under the DGCL, any claim that (i) the Authorized Share Increase or the Authorized Share Increase Issuance ratified pursuant to the Share Increase Ratification is void or voidable due to a failure of authorization, or (ii) the Delaware Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that the Share Increase Ratification not be effective or be effective only on certain conditions, must be brought within 120 days from the time that the filing of the Certificate of Validation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware becomes effective in accordance with the DGCL.

The proposed amendment would increase the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from 20,000,000 (or 24,109,635 if Proposal 1 is approved) shares to 45,000,000 shares. The number of authorized shares of preferred stock would not be affected by the proposed amendment. If approved, the first sentence of Article Fourth of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

“FOURTH. The total number of shares of all classes of stock which the Corporation shall have the authority to issue is fifty-six million (56,000,000), consisting of forty-five million (45,000,000) shares of Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”) and eleven million (11,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value of $0.001 per share (“Preferred Stock”).”

The additional shares of our Common Stock for which authorization is sought will have the same voting rights, the same rights to dividends and distributions, and will be identical in all other respects to the shares of our Common Stock now authorized.

Reasons for the Proposed Amendment

As discussed in Proposal 1, we have issued shares of our Common Stock in excess of the number of our currently authorized shares of Common Stock. Accordingly, we have no shares of Common Stock currently available for issuance. As of February 23, 2021, 9,006,548 shares of Common Stock were reserved for issuance or issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of preferred stock or exercise of outstanding warrants and equity awards. We currently do not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock available for such future issuances.

If the Amendment Proposal is approved, assuming Proposal 1 is approved and taking into account the number of shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance or issuable upon conversion of outstanding shares of preferred stock or exercise of outstanding warrants and equity awards, our Board will have the authority to issue approximately 11,883,817 additional shares of Common Stock without further stockholder approval, except as may be required for a particular transaction by applicable law or regulation or by any securities exchange on which our shares of Common Stock are listed.

The additional shares of Common Stock may be used for such corporate purposes as may be determined by our Board from time to time to be necessary or desirable. These purposes may include: (i) issuance of Common Stock upon conversion or exercise of our outstanding securities as described above, (ii) raising capital through the sale of Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, (iii) acquiring other businesses or assets in exchange for Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock, (iv) attracting and retaining employees by the issuance of additional securities under the Company’s equity compensation plans and agreements and (v) other corporate purposes.

Our Board believes that the authorized number of shares of Common Stock should be increased to provide our Board of Directions with the ability to issue additional shares of Common Stock for the corporate purposes described above without potentially having to incur the delay and expense incident to obtaining special stockholder approval each time an opportunity requiring the issuance of shares of our Common Stock may arise. Such a delay might cause us to lose an opportunity or make it more expensive for us to take advantage of an opportunity. Although our Board has no present plans to issue any additional shares of Common Stock, except in connection with our outstanding convertible preferred stock, our existing equity awards and incentive plans or as required upon exercise of our outstanding warrants, the Board believes that the proposed increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock is necessary to provide us with the necessary flexibility to pursue corporate opportunities.

Possible Effects of the Proposed Amendment

The authorization of additional shares of Common Stock sought by this proposal would not have any immediate dilutive effect upon the proportionate voting power or rights of our existing stockholders; however, to the extent that the additional authorized shares of Common Stock are issued in the future, such issuance may decrease existing stockholders’ percentage equity ownership and, depending upon the price of which they are issued, could be dilutive to existing stockholders and have a negative effect upon the market price of the Common Stock. Our stockholders do not have preemptive rights, which means they do not have the right to purchase shares in any future issuance of Common Stock in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of Common Stock.

The amendment to increase the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock could have the effect of discouraging or preventing attempts to take over control of the Company. For example, in the event of a hostile attempt to take over control of the Company, it may be possible for us to impede the attempt by issuing shares of Common Stock, which would dilute the voting power of the other outstanding shares and increase the potential cost to acquire control of us. The proposed amendment therefor may have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover bids and potentially limiting the opportunity for our stockholders to dispose of their shares at a shared addresspremium which may otherwise be available in a takeover attempt or merger proposal. To the extent that it impedes any such attempts, the proposed amendment may serve to which a single copyperpetuate our current management, including our Board. The amendment is not being proposed in response to any known effort or threat to acquire control of the document was delivered. Requests should be directedCompany and is not part of a plan by management to Brian Murphyadopt a series of amendments to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and bylaws having an anti-takeover effect.

If the proposed amendment is adopted, it will become effective upon filing of a Certificate of Amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of Delaware.

PROPOSAL ONE

A PROPOSAL TO APPROVE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH NASDAQ MARKETPLACE RULE 5635(D), THE ISSUANCE OF (II) SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON THE CONVERSION OF THE SERIES E CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED STOCK, AND (II) SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON CONVERSION OF THE SERIES E PREFERRED STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS, IN EACH CASE, ISSUED IN PRIVATE PLACEMENT OFFERINGS ON JUNE 21, 2019 AND JULY 31, 2019

General Description of Proposal

The stockholders of the Company are being asked to approve, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), the issuance of (i) shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, and (ii) shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, in each case, issued in private placement offerings on June 21, 2019 and July 31, 2019.

Description of the Offerings

On June 21, 2019, we entered into and closed a private placement Securities Purchase Agreement with certain existing stockholders relating to the sale to such existing stockholders of 1,600,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock, and seven year warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, at a purchase price per unit of $2.00 (the “June Offering”), for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,200,000 (excluding the exercise of the warrants issued in the June Offering).

On July 31, 2019, we entered into and closed a private placement Securities Purchase Agreement with certain existing stockholders relating to the sale to such existing investors of 210,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock and seven year warrants to purchase 210,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, at a purchase price per unit of $2.00 (the “July Preferred Offering”), for gross proceeds of $420,000 (excluding the exercise of the warrants issued in the July Preferred Offering).

On July 31, 2019, we entered into and closed a private placement Securities Purchase Agreement with certain accredited investors relating to the sale to such investors of 290,000 shares of our common stock, and seven year warrants to purchase 290,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, at a purchase price per unit of $2.00 (the “July Common Offering), for gross proceeds of $580,000 (excluding the exercise of the warrants issued in the July Common Offering).

On June 21, 2019, the Company filed a Certificate of Designation of the Series E Preferred Stock (the “Original Certificate of Designation”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Secretary of State”). The Original Certificate of Designation was effective upon filing with the Secretary of State and designated the Series E Preferred Stock. On July 31, 2019 and September                 , 2019, the Company filed with the Secretary of State an Amended and Restated Certificates of Designation (the “Amended and Restated Certificates of Designation”) which were effective upon filing with the Secretary of State of Delaware. The Amended Certificates of Designation provides that, among other things, the Series E Preferred Stock is not convertible into our common stock, and the holders of Series E Preferred Stock have no voting rights, until, in each case, the Company receives approval of Proposal One.


In connection with the June Offering and the July Preferred Offering, we agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special meeting of stockholders a proxy statement soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of the issuance of all of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock in accordance with applicable law and the rules and regulations of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Prior to the stockholder vote on this Proposal One, the holders have been, and if this Proposal One is not approved by the stockholders, the holders will be, prohibited from converting Series E Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock and will have no voting rights.

Following the date that the stockholders of the Company approve this Proposal One, each holder of Series E Preferred Stock will be prohibited from converting shares of Series E Preferred Stock into shares of Common Stock if, as a result of such conversion, such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of our common stock. Each holder has the right to increase its maximum percentage to 9.99% upon 60 days’ notice to the Company.

The information set forth in this Proposal One is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the agreements entered into in connection with the June Offering, which are included as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 26, 2019, and the July Preferred Offering and the July Common Offering, which are included as exhibits to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 31, 2019.

Terms of the Series E Preferred Stock

Each share of Series E Preferred Stock is convertible at any time and from time to time after the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal One at the option of a holder of Series E Preferred Stock into one share of our common stock, provided that each holder would be prohibited from converting Series E Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock if, as a result of such conversion, any such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding. This limitation may be waived with respect to a holder upon such holder’s provision of not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.

Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, each holder of the Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to such shares of Series E Preferred Stock if such shares had been converted to our common stock immediately prior to such liquidation.

Shares of Series E Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by the Board. However, holders of Series E Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series E Preferred stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when such dividends are specifically declared by the Board. The Company is not obligated to redeem or repurchase any shares of Series E Preferred Stock. Shares of Series E Preferred Stock are not otherwise entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions.


Subject to the approval of the stockholders of this Proposal One and subject to the beneficial ownership limitations, each holder of Series E Preferred Stock shall be entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of shares of our common stock equal to the Voting Ratio. The Voting Ratio, for each share of Series E Preferred Stock is equal to $2.00 divided by $3.53. Fractional votes shall not, however, be permitted and any fractional voting rights resulting from the above formula (after aggregating all shares into which shares of Series E Preferred Stock held by each Series E Holder could be converted) shall be rounded to the nearest whole number (with one-half being rounded upward). Unless and until the stockholders of the Company approve this Proposal One, the Series E Holders shall have no voting rights.

Use of Proceeds

We expect to use the proceeds from the from the sale of the Series E Preferred Stock in the June Offering and the July Preferred Offering and the sale of our common stock in the July Common Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Registration Rights

We have also agreed to prepare and file with the SEC within 60 days of after the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal One a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, and cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), within 120 days of the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal One if there is no review of the registration statement by the SEC or within 150 days of the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal One if there is a review of the registration statement by the SEC. If the registration statement (i) is not filed within 60 days after the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal One, (ii) is not declared effective within 120 days (or 150 days, as applicable) of the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal One, or (iii) ceases for any reason to be effective at any time prior to the expiration of its effectiveness period (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) for more than 20 consecutive trading days in any 12 month period, then we are required to pay to each investor who holds Registrable Securities an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the purchase price paid by such investor for the Series E Preferred Stock per month until the registration statement is filed or declared effective (as applicable); provided that the total amount of payments shall not exceed, when aggregated with all such payments paid to all Preferred Investors, 5% of the aggregate purchase price of the Series E Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

Reason for the Offerings

On September 14, 2018, we received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC notifying us that we were no longer in compliance with the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. On October 26, 2018, November 23, 2018 and January 9, 2019, we submitted a plan and supporting documentation to regain compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement and was granted an extension through March 13, 2019 to comply with this requirement.


The Staff notified us by letter dated March 14, 2019 that it determined that we did not meet the terms of the extension because we were unable to complete an equity financing and evidence compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market by March 13, 2019, and our common stock would be subject to delisting from the Nasdaq Capital Market unless we timely requested a hearing before the Nasdaq Hearings Panel (the “Panel”).

We timely requested a hearing before the Panel, which request stayed any delisting action by the Staff. The hearing occurred on May 2, 2019. At the hearing, we presented our plan to evidence compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market, and request an extension of time within which to do so.

By letter dated May 20, 2019, we received notice that the Panel granted our request for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Assuming our compliance plan is executed and compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholder equity requirement is demonstrated, the Panel will maintain jurisdiction thereafter for the balance of the 180-day discretionary period, and imposed certain conditions and reporting requirements during that period. The Panel determined to continue the listing of our shares of common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market, partially based upon our assurances that it had a high level of confidence that it will receive the funding needed.

To that end, we completed the June Offering, the July Preferred Offering and the July Common Offering. As a receiving result of receiving aggregate gross proceeds of $4,200,000 from such offerings, we are currently in compliance the minimum $2,500,000 stockholder equity requirement. Although we have regained compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholder equity requirement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the requirements for listing our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The failure to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market could have an adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of our shares of common stock.

Reason for Stockholder Approval

As a result of being listed for trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market, issuances of our common stock are subject to the Nasdaq Stock Market Rules, including Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d).


Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d) requires stockholder approval in connection with a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance, or potential issuance by the issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) equal to 20% or more of the common stock or 20% or more of the voting power outstanding before the issuance for a price that is less than the lower of: (i) the closing price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement. The issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock may be deemed to involve the issuance of securities convertible into more than 20% of the Company’s outstanding common stock for a price that is less than the lower of: (i) the closing price (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement; or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock (as reflected on Nasdaq.com) for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement because the conversion price for the Series E Preferred Stock is $2.00 per share. If we do not obtain stockholder approval of this Proposal One, our existing investors who were the sole investors in the June Offering and the July Preferred Offering most likely will be unwilling to further fund our business going forward. The loss of this funding source could materially and adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital in the future. If we are unable to access other sources of capital on acceptable terms, our operating capital may be materially reduced, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations. Any negative impact on our results of operations due to our having reduced operating capital could negatively affect the market value of our common stock. Additionally, if Proposal One is not approved, and we fail to meet Nasdaq’s minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement, such existing investors may be less likely to purchase additional equity securities of the Company in order for us to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholder’s equity requirement and, if we cannot raise capital from other sources, our shares of common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Under the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreements for each of the June Offerings and the July 2019 Offerings, we agreed to obtain approval of our stockholders for the issuance of the shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock.

Accordingly, we are requesting in this Proposal One that our stockholders approve, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(d), the issuance of shares of our common stock upon the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock and the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock issuable upon exercise of warrants.

Potential Adverse Effects – Dilution and Impact of the Offering on Existing Stockholders

The issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock and the issuance of the Series E Preferred Stock upon exercise of the warrants could have a dilutive effect on current stockholders who did not participate in the June Offering or the July Preferred Offering in that the percentage ownership of the Company held by such current stockholders will decline as a result of the issuance of our common stock issuable upon the conversion and of the Series E Preferred Stock. This means also that current stockholders who did not participate in the June Offering and the July Preferred Offering will own a smaller interest in the Company as a result of such offerings and will therefore have less ability to influence significant corporate decisions requiring stockholder approval. Issuance of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock could also have a dilutive effect on book value per share and any future earnings per share. Dilution of equity interests could also cause prevailing market prices for our common stock to decline.


The conversion price is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations as follows:

If we (A) pay a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of our common stock with respect to the then outstanding shares of our common stock; (B) subdivide outstanding shares of our common stock into a larger number of shares; or (C) combine (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of our common stock into a smaller number of shares, then the conversion price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after such event.

If (A) we effect any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another person, (B) we effect any sale of all or substantially all of our assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (C) any tender offer or exchange offer is completed pursuant to which all of the shares of our common stock is exchanged for or converted into other securities, cash or property, or (D) we effect any reclassification of the shares of our common stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which our common stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock the holders thereof shall have the right to receive, in lieu of the right to receive the shares of our common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock, the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had been, immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction, the holder of shares of our common stockdays following February 23, 2021.

 

In addition to the foregoing, the increase in the number of shares of our common stock issued in connection with the conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock may have an incidental anti-takeover effect in that the additional shares of our common stock issued could dilute the stock ownership of parties seeking to obtain control of us. The increased number of issued shares could discourage the possibility of, or render more difficult, certain mergers, tender offers, proxy contests or other change of control or ownership transactions. However, we currently know of no specific effort to accumulate our securities or to gain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation in opposition to management or otherwise.

Effect on Current Stockholders if this Proposal is Not Approved

If our stockholders do not approve this Proposal One, then the Series E Preferred Stock will not be convertible into shares of our common stock. Our ability to successfully implement our business plans and ultimately generate value for our stockholders is dependent on our ability to maximize capital raising opportunities. If Proposal One is approved by our stockholders, the existing investors who were the sole investors in both financings will be more likely to further fund our business in the future if we need additional capital.


If Proposal One is approved by our stockholders, and the Company does not meet Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, the existing investors who were the sole investors in both financings will be more likely to purchase additional equity securities of the Company in order to regain compliance with Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement. If Proposal Three is not approved by our stockholders, and the Company does not meet Nasdaq’s minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, such existing investors will be less likely to purchase additional equity securities of the Company and if we continue to fail to meet the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement, our shares of common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

A delisting of our common stock from the Nasdaq Capital Market could materially reduce the liquidity of our common stock and result in a corresponding material reduction in the price of our common stock. In addition, delisting could harm our ability to raise capital through alternative financing sources on terms acceptable to us, or at all, and may result in the potential loss of confidence by investors, suppliers, customers and employees and fewer business development opportunities.

Vote Required

Approval of this Proposal One requires the affirmative vote a majority of the shares of common stock and Series C Preferred Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The NYSE has confirmed that this proposal is a “non-routine” matter on which brokers may not vote without instruction from beneficial owners. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on this proposal.

Our Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” approval of Proposal One.

PROPOSAL TWO

APPROVE, IN ACCORDANCE WITH NASDAQ MARKETPLACE RULE 5635(C), THE ISSUANCE OF(i)SHARES OFOURCOMMON STOCKAND (ii) SHARES OF OUR COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF WARRANTS, IN EACH CASE, TO A DIRECTOR OF THE COMPANY

General Description of Proposal

The stockholders of the Company are being asked to approve, in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c), the issuance of(i)shares of our common stockand (ii) shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, in each case,to a director of the Company.

Description of the Offering

On August 27, 2019, we entered into and closed a private placement Securities Purchase Agreement with Christopher Fashek, a director of the Company relating to the sale of 25,000 shares of our common stock, and seven year warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, at a purchase price per unit of $2.00 (the “Affiliated Offering”) for gross proceeds of $50,000 (excluding the exercise of the warrants issued in the Affiliated Offering) (the “Affiliated Proceeds”). The Company and Mr. Fashek have agreed to place the Affiliated Proceeds in escrow, and not to release the same until such time as stockholder approval of this Proposal Two is obtained, as required under Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c).

Use of Proceeds

We expect to use the proceeds from the from the sale of the Affiliated Offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

Registration Rights

We have also agreed to prepare and file with the SEC within 60 days of after the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal Two a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of our common stock purchase by Mr. Fashek and the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants, and cause such registration statement to become effective under the Securities Act, within 120 days of the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal Two if there is no review of the registration statement by the SEC or within 150 days of the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal Two if there is a review of the registration statement by the SEC. If the registration statement (i) is not filed within 60 days after the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal Two, (ii) is not declared effective within 120 days (or 150 days, as applicable) of the date that the stockholders approve this Proposal Two, or (iii) ceases for any reason to be effective at any time prior to the expiration of its effectiveness period (as defined in the securities purchase agreement) for more than 20 consecutive trading days in any 12 month period, then we are required to pay to Mr. Fashek an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% of the purchase price paid by Mr. Fashek for the common stock per month until the registration statement is filed or declared effective (as applicable); provided that the total amount of payments shall not exceed 5% of the aggregate purchase price of the common stock and warrants.

Reason for the Offerings

See “PROPOSAL ONE – “Reasons for the Offerings.”

Reasons for Stockholder Approval

Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 5635(c) deems the issuance of common stock, or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock, to a Nasdaq-listed company’s officers, directors, employees or consultants in a private placement at a price less than the market value of such stock, calculated as the closing bid price for such shares on the trading day immediately prior to entry into the agreement, as equity compensation requiring stockholder approval. The Securities Purchase Agreement provides for the sale and/or issuance of securities to the Mr. Fashek at a price that is less than the closing bid price of our Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on the trading day immediately prior to the date of the Securities Purchase Agreement. As a result, stockholder approval of the issuance of the shares our common stock and warrants to purchase our common stock to Mr. Fashek, and receipt by the Company of the Affiliated Proceeds, is required pursuant to Rule 5635(c).


If stockholder approval is not obtained, the Purchase Agreement will terminate and Mr. Fashek’s investment will be released from escrow and returned back to him, and the Mr. Fashek will not be permitted to the 25,000 shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase 25,000 shares of our common stock. We would therefore not receive the Affiliated Proceeds.

When you consider our Board’ recommendation to vote in favor of Proposal Two, you should be aware that certain of our directors and our officers may have interests that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of other stockholders. In particular, if stockholder approval is obtained, the Mr. Fashek will purchase securities at a price that was below the closing bid price of our common stock on the day prior to the execution of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

Potential Adverse Effects – Dilution and Impact of the Offering on Existing Stockholders

The issuance of our common stockand warrants to purchase our common stockin the Affiliated Offeringwill have a dilutive effect on current stockholders in that the percentage ownership of the Company held by such current stockholders will decline as a result of the issuance of our common stock. This means also that current stockholders will own a smaller interest in the Company as a result of such offerings and will therefore have less ability to influence significant corporate decisions requiring stockholder approval. Issuance of our common stockand warrants to purchase our common stock in the Affiliated Offering could also have a dilutive effect on book value per share and any future earnings per share. Dilution of equity interests could also cause prevailing market prices for our common stock to decline.

Vote Required

Approval of this Proposal Two requires the affirmative vote a majority of the shares of common stock and Series C Preferred Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The NYSE has confirmed that this proposal is a “non-routine” matter on which brokers may not vote without instruction from beneficial owners. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on this proposal.

Our Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” approval of Proposal Two.

21

PROPOSAL THREE

APPROVE AN AMENDMENT OF OUR AMENDED AND RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION TO INCREASE THE AUTHORIZED PREFERRED STOCK OF THE COMPANY FROM 5,000,000 SHARES TO 11,000,000 SHARES

General Description of Proposal

The total number of shares of all classes of stock which we have the authority to issue is 25,000,000, consisting of 20,000,000 shares of common stock and 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock. On September 4, 2019, the Board approved, and recommends that the stockholders adopt, an amendment to FOURTH A of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the “Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation”) to increase the total number of authorized shares of preferred stock from 5,000,000 to 11,000,000, substantially the form attached hereto as Appendix A.

Reasons for the Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation

As of August 20, 2019, (i) 4,429,964 shares of our common stock were issued and outstanding; (ii) 3,000,000 shares of our Series C Preferred Stock were authorized and designated, of which 2,733,142 were issued and outstanding, and 266,858 were reserved for issuance pursuant to outstanding warrants; (iii) 506 shares of our Series D Preferred Stock were authorized and designated, all of which were issued and outstanding; and (iv) 1,999,494 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock were authorized and designated, of which 1,810,000 were issued and outstanding and 180,494 were reserved for issuance pursuant to certain of the warrants issued in the June Offering. As of August 20, 2019, we had warrants to purchase an additional 901,809 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase an additional 1,629,506 shares of Series E Preferred Stock, which shares of Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock will only be issued if this Proposal Three is approved by the stockholders and the warrants are exercised by the holders thereof. With respect to the warrants to purchase 901,809 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, upon exercise of such warrants, the holders of such warrants have the option of receiving either 901,809 shares of our common stock or 901,809 shares of Series E Preferred Stock.

The Board believes approval of this Proposal Three is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders. The authorization of additional shares of preferred stock will enable us to meet our obligations under our outstanding warrants, while retaining flexibility to issue additional shares of preferred stock in order to respond to future business needs and opportunities. For example, the additional shares of preferred stock may be used for financing the Company’s business, for acquiring other businesses, or for forming strategic partnerships and alliances. The Company explores opportunities for strategic transactions that could result in the issuance of preferred stock, including equity capital raises, as they arise or as the Company’s needs require. Although the Company frequently reviews various transactions, the Company has no current agreement or commitment to issue additional shares of its preferred stock, except for issuances of common stock upon the exercise of its outstanding warrants, as we as the conversion of its outstanding notes.

If this Proposal Three is approved by the stockholders, upon the effective date of the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company would have 3,468,685 shares of preferred stock authorized and available for future issuance (assuming the exercise of all outstanding warrants to purchase Series C Preferred Stock and Series E Preferred Stock). If this Proposal Three is not approved by the stockholders, the number of authorized shares of preferred stock of the Company will remain at five million and the Company would have no shares of preferred stock that remained authorized and available for future issuance.


Other than satisfying our obligations under our outstanding warrants, the Board has no immediate plans, understandings, agreements or commitments to issue additional shares of preferred stock for any purposes.

Terms of the Series C Preferred Stock

Each share of Series C Preferred Stock is convertible into one share of our common stock (subject to adjustment) at any time at the option of the holders, provided that each holder would be prohibited from converting Series C Preferred Stock into shares of our common stock if, as a result of such conversion, any such holder, together with its affiliates, would own more than 9.99% of the total number of shares of our common stock then issued and outstanding. This limitation may be waived with respect to a holder upon such holder’s provision of not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company.

In the event of liquidation, dissolution, or winding up, each holder of Series C Preferred Stock could elect to receive either (i) in preference to any payments made to the holders of Common stock and any other junior securities, a payment for each share of Series C Preferred Stock then held equal $0.001, plus an additional amount equal to any dividends declared but unpaid on such shares, and any other fees or liquidated damages then due and owing thereon or (ii) the amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would be entitled to receive with respect to each share of Series C Preferred Stock if such share of Series C Preferred Stock had been converted to common stock immediately prior to such liquidation, dissolution, or winding up (without giving effect to any conversion limitations).

Shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive any dividends, unless and until specifically declared by the board of directors. However, holders of Series C Preferred Stock are entitled to receive dividends on shares of Series C Preferred stock equal (on an as-if-converted-to-common-stock basis) to and in the same form as dividends actually paid on shares of the common stock when such dividends are specifically declared by the board of directors. The Company is not obligated to redeem or repurchase any shares of Series C Preferred Stock. Shares of Series C Preferred Stock are not otherwise entitled to any redemption rights, or mandatory sinking fund or analogous fund provisions.

Each holder of Series C Preferred stock is entitled to the number of votes equal to the number of whole shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock held by such holder are then convertible (subject to the beneficial ownership limitations) with respect to any and all matters presented to the stockholders for their action or consideration. Holders of Series C Preferred Stock vote together with the holders of common stock as a single class, except as provided by law and except that the consent of holders of a majority of the outstanding Series C Preferred Stock is required to amend the terms of the Series C Preferred Stock.


Terms of the Series E Preferred Stock

A summary of the terms of the Series E Preferred Stock are set forth above under the heading “PROPOSAL ONE:– Terms of the Series E Preferred Stock.”

Potential Effect

Generally, shares of preferred stock are senior to common stock within a company’s capital structure and offer a priority claim on the company’s cash flow. However, authorizing us to issue more shares of preferred stock than currently authorized by the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will not affect materially any substantive rights, powers or privileges of our stockholders. Our Board will determine the terms of any shares of preferred stock to be authorized, including dividend or interest rates, conversion prices, voting rights, redemption prices, maturity dates and similar matters. The additional shares of preferred stock for which authorization is sought are identical to the shares of our preferred stock now authorized. The issuance of shares of preferred stock may, among other things, have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share and on the equity and voting power of existing stockholders and may adversely affect the market price for our common stock. On the other hand, if we do not receive stockholder approval on this Proposal Three, we may be hindered in our ability to raise capital to pursue new investment opportunities that could be beneficial to us and our stockholders. This reduced flexibility would also put us at a competitive disadvantage to our peers, many of whom have been able to complete offerings of preferred stock.

Additionally, if this Proposal Three is not approved by our stockholders, and, in the future, the Company does not meet Nasdaq’s minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement, our existing stockholders who purchased shares of Series E Preferred Stock in the June Offering and the July Offering will be less likely to purchase additional equity securities of the Company, and if we fail to meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, our shares of common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The issuance of shares of preferred stock could enable the Board to discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by diluting the interest of a bidder for us. Also, shares of preferred stock could be issued to render more difficult a merger or similar transaction. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt, to acquire control of the Company, and the amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation is not being presented with the intent that it be utilized as a type of anti-takeover device or to secure management’s positions within the Company.

Warrants to Purchase Series C Preferred Stock

From February 2017 to July 2019, in connection with bridge financings, the Company has issued seven-year warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,901,809 Series C Preferred Stock. The warrants have exercise prices ranging from $2.00 per share to $6.00 per share.


Warrants to Purchase Series E Preferred Stock

On June 21, 2019, we closed the June Offering pursuant to which we issued and sold to certain existing stockholders 1,600,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock, and seven year warrants to purchase 1,600,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, at a purchase price per unit of $2.00, for aggregate gross proceeds of $3,200,000 (excluding the exercise of the warrants issued in the June Offering).

On July 31, 2019, we closed the July Preferred Offering pursuant to which we issued and sold to certain existing investors 210,000 shares of Series E Preferred Stock and seven year warrants to purchase 210,000 shares of our Series E Preferred Stock at an exercise price of $2.50 per share, at a purchase price per unit of $2.00, for gross proceeds of $420,000 (excluding the exercise of the warrants issued in the July Preferred Offering).

As described above under “Proposal One – Reasons for the Offerings” we completed the June Offering, the July Preferred Offering and the July Common Offering in order to regain compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market. Following the completion of these offerings, we regained compliance with this Nasdaq rule. Although we have regained compliance with the minimum $2,500,000 stockholder equity requirement, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with the requirements for listing our common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market. The failure to maintain our listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market could have an adverse effect on the market price and liquidity of our shares of common stock.

Effectiveness of the Amendment

If this Proposal Three is approved by our stockholders, it will become effective upon the filing of a Certificate of Amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.

Consequences of Failure to Obtain Stockholder Approval

If the Proposal Three is not approved by our stockholders, and the Company does not continue to meet Nasdaq’s minimum $2,500,000 stockholders’ equity requirement, our existing stockholders who were the sole investors in the June Offering and the July Preferred Offering will be less likely to purchase additional equity securities of the Company. If we fail to meet the minimum stockholders’ equity requirement, our shares of common stock may be delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market.

Additionally, if Proposal Three is not approved by our stockholders, it may impede the Company’s ability to raise capital should the need arise, and may cause the loss of significant business opportunities, which could adversely affect our financial performance, growth and ability to continue our operations. The Board is not aware of any attempt, or contemplated attempt to acquire control of the Company, and does not intend or view the proposed increase in authorized preferred stock to be an anti-takeover measure.


Other Potential Effects of the Proposed Amendment

The authorization of additional shares of preferred stock will not, by itself, have any effect on the rights of present stockholders (other than the 2,531,315 shares of Series E Preferred Stock that is issuable upon the exercise of warrants issued in the June Offering and the July Preferred Offering). The additional 3,468,685 shares of Preferred Stock to be authorized will be “blank check” serial preferred stock. This type of preferred stock allows the Board to issue one or more series of the preferred stock, from time to time, with full, limited or no voting powers, and to fix all of the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or special voting rights, and qualifications, limitations or other restrictions upon the Preferred Stock, as will be provided in an amendment to our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation adopted by the Board.

Under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company’s stockholders do not have preemptive rights to subscribe for additional shares of capital stock which may be issued by the Company, which means that current stockholders do not have a prior right to purchase any new issue of capital stock of the Company in order to maintain their proportionate ownership of such shares. In addition, if the Board elects to issue additional shares of preferred stock, such issuance could have a dilutive effect on the earnings per share, voting power and holdings of current stockholders.

Vote Required

Approval of this Proposal Two requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock and Series C Preferred Stock outstanding (subject to beneficial ownership limitations) on this Proposal Three as of the record date for the Special Meeting. The NYSE has confirmed that this proposal is a “routine” matter on which brokers may vote without instruction from beneficial owners. Therefore, there will be no broker non-votes with respect to this proposal. Abstentions will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” this proposal.

Our Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” approval of Proposal Three.


Proposal

APPROVE AN ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING, IF NECESSARY, TO SOLICIT
ADDITIONAL PROXIES IF THERE ARE NOT SUFFICIENT VOTES IN FAVOR OF

PROPOSAL ONE, PROPOSAL TWO AND/OR PROPOSAL THREE

At the Special Meeting, if necessary, stockholders will vote on this Proposal Four. If this Proposal Four is adopted, the Board will have the discretion to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates to permit further solicitation of proxies in the event that there are not sufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve Proposal One, Proposal Two and/or Proposal Three. It is possible for us to obtain sufficient votes to approve this Proposal Four but not receive sufficient votes to approve Proposal One, Proposal Two and/or Proposal Three. In such a situation, the Company could adjourn the meeting for any number of days or hours as permitted under applicable law and attempt to solicit additional votes in favor of Proposal One, Proposal Two and/or Proposal Three.

In addition to an adjournment of the Special Meeting upon approval of this Proposal Four, if a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, the Company’s bylaws allow the Special Meeting to be adjourned for the purpose of obtaining a quorum. Any such adjournment may be made without notice, other than the announcement made at the Special Meeting, by the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of common stock andSeries C Preferred Stock present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. The Board also is empowered under Delaware law to postpone the meeting at any time prior to the meeting being called to order. In such event, the Company would issue a press release and take such other steps as it believes are necessary and practical in the circumstances to inform its stockholders of the postponement.

If the stockholders approve this Proposal Four, and the Special Meeting is adjourned, the Company expects to use the additional time to solicit additional proxies in favor of Proposal One, Proposal Two and/or Proposal Three.

This Proposal Four will only be presented at the Special Meeting if there are not sufficient votes represented in person or by proxy for Proposal One, Proposal Two and/or Proposal Three. If this Proposal Four is presented at the Special Meeting and is not approved, the Company may not be able to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date.

Approval of this Proposal Four requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares casting votes in person or by proxy on such proposal at the Special Meeting (assuming a quorum is present). The NYSE has confirmed that this proposal is a “non-routine” matter on which brokers may not vote without instruction from beneficial owners. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the vote on this proposal (assuming a quorum is present).

Our Board recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” approval of Proposal Four.


OTHER BUSINESS

The Board knows of no other business to be brought before the Special Meeting. If, however, any other business should properly come before the Special Meeting, the persons named in the accompanying proxy will vote the proxy in accordance with applicable law and as they may deem appropriate in their discretion, unless directed by the proxy to do otherwise.

APPENDIX B

 

§ 204 Ratification of defective corporate acts and stock

(a) Subject to subsection (f) of this section, no defective corporate act or putative stock shall be void or voidable solely as a result of a failure of authorization if ratified as provided in this section or validated by the Court of Chancery in a proceeding brought under § 205 of this title.

(b)(1) In order to ratify 1 or more defective corporate acts pursuant to this section (other than the ratification of an election of the initial board of directors pursuant to paragraph (b)(2) of this section), the board of directors of the corporation shall adopt resolutions stating:

(A) The defective corporate act or acts to be ratified;

(B) The date of each defective corporate act or acts;

(C) If such defective corporate act or acts involved the issuance of shares of putative stock, the number and type of shares of putative stock issued and the date or dates upon which such putative shares were purported to have been issued;

(D) The nature of the failure of authorization in respect of each defective corporate act to be ratified; and

(E) That the board of directors approves the ratification of the defective corporate act or acts.

Such resolutions may also provide that, at any time before the validation effective time in respect of any defective corporate act set forth therein, notwithstanding the approval of the ratification of such defective corporate act by stockholders, the board of directors may abandon the ratification of such defective corporate act without further action of the stockholders. The quorum and voting requirements applicable to the ratification by the board of directors of any defective corporate act shall be the quorum and voting requirements applicable to the type of defective corporate act proposed to be ratified at the time the board adopts the resolutions ratifying the defective corporate act; provided that if the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, any plan or agreement to which the corporation was a party or any provision of this title, in each case as in effect as of the time of the defective corporate act, would have required a larger number or portion of directors or of specified directors for a quorum to be present or to approve the defective corporate act, such larger number or portion of such directors or such specified directors shall be required for a quorum to be present or to adopt the resolutions to ratify the defective corporate act, as applicable, except that the presence or approval of any director elected, appointed or nominated by holders of any class or series of which no shares are then outstanding, or by any person that is no longer a stockholder, shall not be required.

(2) In order to ratify a defective corporate act in respect of the election of the initial board of directors of the corporation pursuant to § 108 of this title, a majority of the persons who, at the time the resolutions required by this paragraph (b)(2) of this section are adopted, are exercising the powers of directors under claim and color of an election or appointment as such may adopt resolutions stating:

(A) The name of the person or persons who first took action in the name of the corporation as the initial board of directors of the corporation;

(B) The earlier of the date on which such persons first took such action or were purported to have been elected as the initial board of directors; and

(C) That the ratification of the election of such person or persons as the initial board of directors is approved.

(c) Each defective corporate act ratified pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) of this section shall be submitted to stockholders for approval as provided in subsection (d) of this section, unless:

(1) (A) No other provision of this title, and no provision of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, or of any plan or agreement to which the corporation is a party, would have required stockholder approval of such defective corporate act to be ratified, either at the time of such defective corporate act or at the time the board of directors adopts the resolutions ratifying such defective corporate act pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) of this section; and

B-i

(B) Such defective corporate act did not result from a failure to comply with § 203 of this title; or

(2) As of the record date for determining the stockholders entitled to vote on the ratification of such defective corporate act, there are no shares of valid stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon, regardless of whether there then exist any shares of putative stock.

(d) If the ratification of a defective corporate act is required to be submitted to stockholders for approval pursuant to subsection (c) of this section, due notice of the time, place, if any, and purpose of the meeting shall be given at least 20 days before the date of the meeting to each holder of valid stock and putative stock, whether voting or nonvoting, at the address of such holder as it appears or most recently appeared, as appropriate, on the records of the corporation. The notice shall also be given to the holders of record of valid stock and putative stock, whether voting or nonvoting, as of the time of the defective corporate act (or, in the case of any defective corporate act that involved the establishment of a record date for notice of or voting at any meeting of stockholders, for action by written consent of stockholders in lieu of a meeting, or for any other purpose, the record date for notice of or voting at such meeting, the record date for action by written consent, or the record date for such other action, as the case may be), other than holders whose identities or addresses cannot be determined from the records of the corporation. The notice shall contain a copy of the resolutions adopted by the board of directors pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) of this section or the information required by paragraphs (b)(1)(A) through (E) of this section and a statement that any claim that the defective corporate act or putative stock ratified hereunder is void or voidable due to the failure of authorization, or that the Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that a ratification in accordance with this section not be effective or be effective only on certain conditions must be brought within 120 days from the applicable validation effective time. At such meeting, the quorum and voting requirements applicable to ratification of such defective corporate act shall be the quorum and voting requirements applicable to the type of defective corporate act proposed to be ratified at the time of the approval of the ratification, except that:

(1) If the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, any plan or agreement to which the corporation was a party or any provision of this title in effect as of the time of the defective corporate act would have required a larger number or portion of stock or of any class or series thereof or of specified stockholders for a quorum to be present or to approve the defective corporate act, the presence or approval of such larger number or portion of stock or of such class or series thereof or of such specified stockholders shall be required for a quorum to be present or to approve the ratification of the defective corporate act, as applicable, except that the presence or approval of shares of any class or series of which no shares are then outstanding, or of any person that is no longer a stockholder, shall not be required;

(2) The approval by stockholders of the ratification of the election of a director shall require the affirmative vote of the majority of shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of such director, except that if the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation then in effect or in effect at the time of the defective election require or required a larger number or portion of stock or of any class or series thereof or of specified stockholders to elect such director, the affirmative vote of such larger number or portion of stock or of any class or series thereof or of such specified stockholders shall be required to ratify the election of such director, except that the presence or approval of shares of any class or series of which no shares are then outstanding, or of any person that is no longer a stockholder, shall not be required; and

(3) In the event of a failure of authorization resulting from failure to comply with the provisions of § 203 of this title, the ratification of the defective corporate act shall require the vote set forth in § 203(a)(3) of this title, regardless of whether such vote would have otherwise been required.

Shares of putative stock on the record date for determining stockholders entitled to vote on any matter submitted to stockholders pursuant to subsection (c) of this section (and without giving effect to any ratification that becomes effective after such record date) shall neither be entitled to vote nor counted for quorum purposes in any vote to ratify any defective corporate act.

B-ii

(e) If a defective corporate act ratified pursuant to this section would have required under any other section of this title the filing of a certificate in accordance with § 103 of this title, then, whether or not a certificate was previously filed in respect of such defective corporate act and in lieu of filing the certificate otherwise required by this title, the corporation shall file a certificate of validation with respect to such defective corporate act in accordance with § 103 of this title. A separate certificate of validation shall be required for each defective corporate act requiring the filing of a certificate of validation under this section, except that (i) 2 or more defective corporate acts may be included in a single certificate of validation if the corporation filed, or to comply with this title would have filed, a single certificate under another provision of this title to effect such acts, and (ii) 2 or more overissues of shares of any class, classes or series of stock may be included in a single certificate of validation, provided that the increase in the number of authorized shares of each such class or series set forth in the certificate of validation shall be effective as of the date of the first such overissue. The certificate of validation shall set forth:

(1) Each defective corporate act that is the subject of the certificate of validation (including, in the case of any defective corporate act involving the issuance of shares of putative stock, the number and type of shares of putative stock issued and the date or dates upon which such putative shares were purported to have been issued), the date of such defective corporate act, and the nature of the failure of authorization in respect of such defective corporate act;

(2) A statement that such defective corporate act was ratified in accordance with this section, including the date on which the board of directors ratified such defective corporate act and the date, if any, on which the stockholders approved the ratification of such defective corporate act; and

(3) Information required by 1 of the following paragraphs:

a. If a certificate was previously filed under § 103 of this title in respect of such defective corporate act and no changes to such certificate are required to give effect to such defective corporate act in accordance with this section, the certificate of validation shall set forth (x) the name, title and filing date of the certificate previously filed and of any certificate of correction thereto and (y) a statement that a copy of the certificate previously filed, together with any certificate of correction thereto, is attached as an exhibit to the certificate of validation;

b. If a certificate was previously filed under § 103 of this title in respect of the defective corporate act and such certificate requires any change to give effect to the defective corporate act in accordance with this section (including a change to the date and time of the effectiveness of such certificate), the certificate of validation shall set forth (x) the name, title and filing date of the certificate so previously filed and of any certificate of correction thereto, (y) a statement that a certificate containing all of the information required to be included under the applicable section or sections of this title to give effect to the defective corporate act is attached as an exhibit to the certificate of validation, and (z) the date and time that such certificate shall be deemed to have become effective pursuant to this section; or

c. If a certificate was not previously filed under § 103 of this title in respect of the defective corporate act and the defective corporate act ratified pursuant to this section would have required under any other section of this title the filing of a certificate in accordance with § 103 of this title, the certificate of validation shall set forth (x) a statement that a certificate containing all of the information required to be included under the applicable section or sections of this title to give effect to the defective corporate act is attached as an exhibit to the certificate of validation, and (y) the date and time that such certificate shall be deemed to have become effective pursuant to this section.

A certificate attached to a certificate of validation pursuant to paragraph (e)(3)b. or c. of this section need not be separately executed and acknowledged and need not include any statement required by any other section of this title that such instrument has been approved and adopted in accordance with the provisions of such other section.

(f) From and after the validation effective time, unless otherwise determined in an action brought pursuant to § 205 of this title:

(1) Subject to the last sentence of subsection (d) of this section, each defective corporate act ratified in accordance with this section shall no longer be deemed void or voidable as a result of the failure of authorization described in the resolutions adopted pursuant to subsection (b) of this section and such effect shall be retroactive to the time of the defective corporate act; and

(2) Subject to the last sentence of subsection (d) of this section, each share or fraction of a share of putative stock issued or purportedly issued pursuant to any such defective corporate act shall no longer be deemed void or voidable and shall be deemed to be an identical share or fraction of a share of outstanding stock as of the time it was purportedly issued.

B-iii

(g) In respect of each defective corporate act ratified by the board of directors pursuant to subsection (b) of this section, prompt notice of the ratification shall be given to all holders of valid stock and putative stock, whether voting or nonvoting, as of the date the board of directors adopts the resolutions approving such defective corporate act, or as of a date within 60 days after such date of adoption, as established by the board of directors, at the address of such holder as it appears or most recently appeared, as appropriate, on the records of the corporation. The notice shall also be given to the holders of record of valid stock and putative stock, whether voting or nonvoting, as of the time of the defective corporate act, other than holders whose identities or addresses cannot be determined from the records of the corporation. The notice shall contain a copy of the resolutions adopted pursuant to subsection (b) of this section or the information specified in paragraphs (b)(1)(A) through (E) or paragraphs (b)(2)(A) through (C) of this section, as applicable, and a statement that any claim that the defective corporate act or putative stock ratified hereunder is void or voidable due to the failure of authorization, or that the Court of Chancery should declare in its discretion that a ratification in accordance with this section not be effective or be effective only on certain conditions must be brought within 120 days from the later of the validation effective time or the time at which the notice required by this subsection is given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) no such notice shall be required if notice of the ratification of the defective corporate act is to be given in accordance with subsection (d) of this section, and (ii) in the case of a corporation that has a class of stock listed on a national securities exchange, the notice required by this subsection and the second sentence of subsection (d) of this section may be deemed given if disclosed in a document publicly filed by the corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to § 13, § 14 or § 15(d) (15 U.S.C. § 78m, § 77n or § 78o(d)) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, or the corresponding provisions of any subsequent United States federal securities laws, rules or regulations. If any defective corporate act has been approved by stockholders acting pursuant to § 228 of this title, the notice required by this subsection may be included in any notice required to be given pursuant to § 228(e) of this title and, if so given, shall be sent to the stockholders entitled thereto under § 228(e) and to all holders of valid and putative stock to whom notice would be required under this subsection if the defective corporate act had been approved at a meeting other than any stockholder who approved the action by consent in lieu of a meeting pursuant to § 228 of this title or any holder of putative stock who otherwise consented thereto in writing. Solely for purposes of subsection (d) of this section and this subsection, notice to holders of putative stock, and notice to holders of valid stock and putative stock as of the time of the defective corporate act, shall be treated as notice to holders of valid stock for purposes of §§ 222 and 228, 229, 230, 232 and 233 of this title.

(h) As used in this section and in § 205 of this title only, the term:

(1) “Defective corporate act” means an overissue, an election or appointment of directors that is void or voidable due to a failure of authorization, or any act or transaction purportedly taken by or on behalf of the corporation that is, and at the time such act or transaction was purportedly taken would have been, within the power of a corporation under subchapter II of this chapter (without regard to the failure of authorization identified in § 204(b)(1)(D) of this title), but is void or voidable due to a failure of authorization;

(2) “Failure of authorization” means: (i) the failure to authorize or effect an act or transaction in compliance with (A) the provisions of this title, (B) the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the corporation, or (C) any plan or agreement to which the corporation is a party or the disclosure set forth in any proxy or consent solicitation statement, if and to the extent such failure would render such act or transaction void or voidable; or (ii) the failure of the board of directors or any officer of the corporation to authorize or approve any act or transaction taken by or on behalf of the corporation that would have required for its due authorization the approval of the board of directors or such officer;

(3) “Overissue” means the purported issuance of:

a. Shares of capital stock of a class or series in excess of the number of shares of such class or series the corporation has the power to issue under § 161 of this title at the time of such issuance; or

b. Shares of any class or series of capital stock that is not then authorized for issuance by the certificate of incorporation of the corporation;

B-iv

(4) “Putative stock” means the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the corporation (including shares issued upon exercise of options, rights, warrants or other securities convertible into shares of capital stock of the corporation, or interests with respect thereto that were created or issued pursuant to a defective corporate act) that:

a. But for any failure of authorization, would constitute valid stock; or

b. Cannot be determined by the board of directors to be valid stock;

(5) “Time of the defective corporate act” means the date and time the defective corporate act was purported to have been taken;

(6) “Validation effective time” with respect to any defective corporate act ratified pursuant to this section means the latest of:

a. The time at which the defective corporate act submitted to the stockholders for approval pursuant to subsection (c) of this section is approved by such stockholders or if no such vote of stockholders is required to approve the ratification of the defective corporate act, the time at which the board of directors adopts the resolutions required by paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section;

b. Where no certificate of validation is required to be filed pursuant to subsection (e) of this section, the time, if any, specified by the board of directors in the resolutions adopted pursuant to paragraph (b)(1) or (b)(2) of this section, which time shall not precede the time at which such resolutions are adopted; and

c. The time at which any certificate of validation filed pursuant to subsection (e) of this section shall become effective in accordance with § 103 of this title.

(7) “Valid stock” means the shares of any class or series of capital stock of the corporation that have been duly authorized and validly issued in accordance with this title.

In the absence of actual fraud in the transaction, the judgment of the board of directors that shares of stock are valid stock or putative stock shall be conclusive, unless otherwise determined by the Court of Chancery in a proceeding brought pursuant to § 205 of this title.

(i) Ratification under this section or validation under § 205 of this title shall not be deemed to be the exclusive means of ratifying or validating any act or transaction taken by or on behalf of the corporation, including any defective corporate act, or any issuance of stock, including any putative stock, or of adopting or endorsing any act or transaction taken by or in the name of the corporation prior to the commencement of its existence, and the absence or failure of ratification in accordance with either this section or validation under § 205 of this title shall not, of itself, affect the validity or effectiveness of any act or transaction or the issuance of any stock properly ratified under common law or otherwise, nor shall it create a presumption that any such act or transaction is or was a defective corporate act or that such stock is void or voidable.
