Financial Recapitalization Details
Pursuant to the Company’s recapitalization, Telanetix has reduced its debt from $29.6 million to $7.5 million. The $7.5 million of new debt is straight term debt under a 4-year note that bears an interest rate of Prime plus 4.75% per annum. During the first 12 months of the term of the note, the Company is only obligated to pay the interest portion of the loan, as the principal will not amortize until the second year of the term. The new debt is not convertible (other than in connection with the rights offering and in the manner described below) and has no dilutive potential. All of the warrants related to the original debt of $29.6 million have been retired and no new warrants were issued to Hale Capital Partners. In consideration for the capital to pay off the original debt holder, Enable Capital, the Company issued 287.5 million of its common shares to Hale Capital Partners, making it the largest shareholder of the Company with 64.26% of the fully diluted shares outstanding. In addition to the capital to facilitate the reorganization of the original debt holder, Hale Capital Partners is providing the Company with $3 million in working capital. In connection with the Hale purchase agreement, the Company has agreed to conduct a rights offering under the terms of which it will distribute, at no charge to the holders of its common stock, non-transferable rights to purchase up to an aggregate of approximately 78 million common shares at a subscription price of $0.03852 per share. The number of subscription rights to be distributed per share of common stock will be set forth in a registration statement to be filed with the SEC and a prospectus distributed to stockholders of record as of the record date. Telanetix agreed to use the gross proceeds of the rights offering to redeem an aggregate of $3 million of principal of the note i ssued to Hale Capital Partners. To the extent the gross proceeds of the rights offering are less than $3 million, the Company and Hale agreed that Hale would exchange the principal amount to be redeemed (up to $3 million) for shares of common stock at an exchange price equal to the subscription price of $0.03852 per share. The total number of outstanding shares following the recapitalization, but prior to the rights offering, is approximately 345 million shares, with approximately 447 million fully diluted shares outstanding including options and previously issued out of the money warrants.
Telanetix plans to report its second quarter financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010, on August 11, 2010 after the close of the market.
