Registration of 24,577,500 Shares of Common Stock
Auriga filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which was declared effective by the SEC on February 11,2008 whereby the Company registered up to 15,000,000 shares of its common stock for resale (“Shares”) issuable to Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (“Dutchess”) and 9,577,500 shares of common stock for sale by our existing shareholders (together with Dutchess, the "Selling Stockholders"). This offering will terminate when all 24,577,500 shares are sold or the date which is five years after the issuance of the last share of common stock, unless we terminate it earlier.
The Shares may be sold by the Selling Stockholders from time to time in the over-the-counter market or other national securities exchange or automated interdealer quotation systems on which our common stock is then listed or quoted, through negotiated transactions or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices.
Agreement with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd.
On December 17, 2007, we entered into an Investment Agreement (the “Investment Agreement”) with Dutchess Private Equities Fund, Ltd. (“Dutchess”). Pursuant to this Investment Agreement, Dutchess is irrevocably bound to purchase up to $2,500,000 of our common stock over the course of thirty-six (36) months (the “Equity Line of Credit; or “Equity Line”). The amount that we shall be entitled to request from each purchase (“Puts”) shall be equal to, at our election, either (i) up to $250,000, or (ii) 200% of the average daily volume (U.S. market only) of the common stock for the ten (10) trading days prior to the applicable Put notice date, multiplied by the average of the three (3) daily closing bid prices immediately preceding that Put Date.
The “Put Date” shall be the date that Dutchess receives a put notice of a draw down by us. The purchase price shall be set at ninety-three percent (93%) of the lowest bid price of the common stock during the Pricing Period. The “Pricing Period” shall be the five (5) consecutive trading days immediately after the Put notice date. There are put restrictions applied on days between the Put date and the closing date, which would be seven (7) days following the Put notice, with respect to that particular Put. During this time, we shall not be entitled to deliver another Put notice. Although cash received from each Put will increase our liquidity, the sale of our common stock to Dutchess in accordance with the Investment Agreement may have a dilutive impact on our shareholders. As a result, our net income per share could decrease in future periods and the market price of our common stock could decline.
In connection with the Investment Agreement, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Investor (the “Registration Agreement”). Pursuant to the Registration Agreement, we registered 15,000,000 shares of our common stock with the SEC covering the shares of common stock underlying the Investment Agreement.
Relocation of Our Corporate Headquarters
On January 18, 2008 we moved our executive offices to premises located at 5284 Adolfo Road, Camarillo, California 93012. Pursuant to a lease entered into on December 14, 2007, the approximately 19,496 square feet of office and warehouse space is leased at a base monthly rent of approximately $22,000, subject to annual increases of 3% through February 2011. We anticipate subleasing our prior offices in Los Angeles, California. Our administrative and sales and marketing facilities remain at 5555 Triangle Parkway, Norcross, Georgia.
