Preferred Stock |
On December 31, 2013, the Company issued to a total of 82 accredited investors (the “Investors”), an aggregate of 18,480 shares of its newly designated Series B-2 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B-2 Preferred Stock”) and (b) warrants (the “Investor Warrants”) to purchase 59,136,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant Shares” and together with the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the “Series B-2 Offering”). The Series B-2 Offering included the issuance of 2,052 shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Investor Warrants to purchase 6,566,400 Warrant Shares, upon the conversion of $2,052,000 in indebtedness of the Company, including the conversion of $2,000,000 of notes payable to Marvin Rosen, $50,000 of other Company indebtedness payable to Matthew Rosen, Fusion’s Chief Executive Officer, and $2,000 payable to another Director of the Company. Gross cash proceeds from the Series B-2 Offering were $16,428,000, and were used to partially finance the acquisition of the Broadvox Assets and for general corporate purposes. |
|
Each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock has a Stated Value of $1,000, and is convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at a conversion price of $0.10 per share (the “Preferred Conversion Price”), subject to adjustment. Subject to the other terms of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock, the Series B-2 Preferred Stock sold to the Investors is convertible into an aggregate of 184,800,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Conversion Shares”). |
|
The Investor Warrants may be exercised at any time following the Share Authorization Date (as defined below), for a number of Warrant Shares that is equal to 40% of the Stated Value divided by one hundred and twenty 125% of the Preferred Conversion Price, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and reclassifications (the “Investor Warrant Exercise Price”). Each Investor Warrant will be exercisable at the Investor Warrant Exercise Price for a five-year term commencing on the date of issuance. |
|
The Series B-2 Preferred Stock may not be converted, and the Investor Warrants may not be exercised, until the effective date of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock sufficient to permit all of the outstanding Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Investor Warrants to be converted or exercised, as the case may be, into the Company’s common stock (the “Share Authorization Date”). On January 30, 2014, the Company filed a proxy statement with the SEC seeking stockholder authorization to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock. |
|
Subject to certain exceptions, the Company also agreed that, within 45 days following the Share Authorization Date, it will file a registration statement with the SEC registering the resale of the Conversion Shares and the Investor Warrant Shares, and to use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the registration statement to become effective not more than 150 days thereafter. The registration rights agreement with the Investors provides that in the event the Company fails to timely file the registration statement, fails to cause the registration statement to become effective within the time provided, or fails to provide Investors with an effective registration statement permitting re-sales by the Investors, then as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, the Company is required to pay each Investor an amount equal to 1% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata portion thereof following the date by which such registration statement should have been filed or become effective; provided, that the maximum payment to each Investor shall not exceed 6% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor. |
|
Commencing January 1, 2016, the Company has the right to force the conversion of the Series B-2 Preferred Stock into common stock at the Preferred Conversion Price; provided that the volume weighted average price for Fusion’s Common stock is at least $0.25 for ten consecutive trading days. In addition, shares of Series B-2 Preferred Stock bear a cumulative 6% annual dividend payable quarterly in arrears commencing March 31, 2014, in cash or shares of common stock, at the option of the Company. |
|
The Investor Warrants provide for a downward adjustment of the exercise price if the Company were to issue common stock at an issuance price or issue convertible debt or equity securities with an exercise price that is less than the Investor Warrant Exercise Price. As a result, the Investor Warrants are deemed not indexed to the Company’s common stock under the guidance provided by ASC Topic 815. Accordingly, the Company recognized a derivative liability of approximately $6.0 million at December 31, 2013 for the fair value of the Investor Warrants based on a Black-Scholes valuation. |
|
Holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock have liquidation rights that are senior to those afforded to holders of the Company’s other equity securities, and holders of Series B-2 Preferred Stock are entitled to vote as one group with holders of common stock on all matters brought to a vote of holders of common stock (with each share of Series B-2 Preferred Stock being entitled to that number of votes into which the registered holder could have converted the Series B-2 Preferred Stock on the record date for the meeting at which the vote will be cast). Holders of common stock are also entitled to vote as a separate class on all matters adversely affecting such class. |
|
The Company sold the Series B-2 Preferred Stock and Investor Warrants through its officers and directors, in conjunction with the assistance of certain select broker-dealers. The Company paid aggregate cash compensation to the broker-dealers of $0.7 million, and issued or is obligated to issue warrants to the broker-dealers or their respective designees to purchase 4,486,900 shares of the Company’s common stock. Such warrants are exercisable for a period of 5 years at an exercise price of $0.125 per share and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of such warrants are afforded the same registration rights as are provided to purchasers of Series B-2 Preferred Stock |
|
Between October 22, 2012 and October 24, 2012, the Company entered into subscription agreements with 91 accredited investors, pursuant to which the Company sold 6,027.75 investment Units consisting of (a) 6,027.75 shares of its Series B-1 Preferred Stock, (b) Fixed Warrants (the “Fixed Warrants”) to purchase 22,013,915 shares of Fusion’s common stock (the “Fixed Warrant Shares”), and (c) Contingent Warrants (the “Contingent Warrants”) to purchase 11,006,958 shares of Fusion’s common stock for gross proceeds of $6,027,750 (the “Series B-1 Offering”). In addition, $750,000 of previously issued notes payable to related parties (see note 13) were converted, and an additional $84,000 of obligations of the Company payable to Mathew Rosen and another member of the Company’s management were satisfied, through the issuance of investment Units on the same terms as those received by the participants in the Series B-1 Offering. At December 31, 2012, the Company had 6,861.75 shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding. |
|
Each share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock had a Stated Value of $1,000, and was convertible into a number of shares of the Company’s common stock that is equal to the Stated Value divided by the volume-weighted-average price of the Company’s common stock for the 10 trading days prior to the closing (the “Series B-1 Preferred Conversion Price”). Based upon that calculation, and subject to the other terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2012 was convertible into an aggregate of 62,672,008 shares of the Company’s common stock. |
|
The Fixed Warrants may be exercised at any time following the Series B-1 Share Authorization Date (as defined below), for a number of Warrant Shares that is equal to fifty (50%) percent of the Stated Value of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock divided by 125% of the Series B-1 Preferred Conversion Price, as adjusted for stock splits, combinations and reclassifications (the “Fixed Warrant Exercise Price”). Each Fixed Warrant is exercisable at the Fixed Warrant Exercise Price for a five-year term commencing on the date of issuance. |
|
The Contingent Warrants contained an “Expiration Event” that was triggered on the filing by the Company with the Federal Communications Commission of a request for the approval of the transfer of the licenses and operating authorities associated with the then pending acquisition of NBS, or a similar business combination. As of the date of the closing of the Series B-1 Offering, the Company had filed for and received approval from the Federal Communications Commission for the transfer of such licenses and operating authorities related to NBS. As a result, an Expiration Event occurred and the Contingent Warrants expired. |
|
The Series B-1 Preferred Stock could not be converted, and the Fixed Warrants could not be exercised, until the effective date of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock sufficient to permit all of the outstanding Series B-1 Preferred Stock and Fixed Warrants to be converted or exercised, as the case may be, into shares of Fusion’s common stock (the “Series B-1 Share Authorization Date”). The Company received stockholder authorization to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock to 550,000,000 shares on February 15, 2013. The amendment was filed with the Secretary of State of Delaware on February 21, 2013. Upon such filing, the Series B-1 Share Authorization Date was fixed, the Series B-1 Preferred Stock became convertible in accordance with its terms and the Fixed Warrants became exercisable. |
|
On September 30, 2013, in accordance with the terms of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the Company caused all of the outstanding Preferred Shares to be converted into 62,672,008 shares of common stock. No shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock were outstanding as of December 31, 2013. |
|
The Series B-1 Offering was exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by reason of Section 4(2) and Rule 506 of Regulation D thereunder. The Company incurred approximately $295,000 of expenses, including commissions and legal fees, related to the offering. The net proceeds of approximately $5,732,000 were used to: |
|
● | Repay $250,000 borrowed from Marvin Rosen and another Fusion director on September 17, 2012. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
