Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Between October 16, 2009 and October 21, 2009, AeroGrow International Inc. (the “Company”) issued 750 shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Shares”) in exchange for $599,979 in cash and 24,000 shares of the Company’s common shares pursuant to agreements by and between the Company and Alpha Capital Anstalt, Optimal Joy Limited, Joint Glory International Limited, and New Finance Asset Limited.
The Series A Shares carry certain rights, preferences and designations, including the right to convert each Series A Share into 5,000 shares of the Company’s common stock. Each Series A Share has an original issue price of $1,000. In addition, the Series A Shares were issued with a total of 750 warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase additional Series A Shares at an exercise price of $1,250 per Series A Share. The exercise period for the Warrants expires five years from the date of issuance. The holders of the Series A Shares are entitled to receive cumulative dividends in preference to any dividend on the Company’s common stock at the rate of 8% of the original issue price per annum, and are entitled to participate pro rata in any dividends paid on the Company’s common stock on as as-if-converted basis. In the event of a sale, liquidation, or other winding up of the Company, the holders of the Series A Shares are entitled to receive in preference to the holders of the Company’s common stock a per share amount equal to the greater of (i) 1.5 times the original issue price, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends or (ii) the amount that the holder of a Series A Share would otherwise receive in such event on an as-converted to common stock basis. The holders of the Series A Shares will vote along with holders of the Company’s common stock on an as-if-converted basis. Each Series A Share shall have a number of votes equal to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock then issuable upon conversion of such Series A Share.
In addition, the holders of the Series A Shares, along with other existing holders of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, are entitled to elect three members of the Company’s Board of Directors by an affirmative vote or consent of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding Series A preferred shares, voting together as a single class. The Series A preferred shares also carry certain other rights, including the right to block certain actions of the Company unless such actions are approved by a vote of the holders of the Series A Shares voting together as a single class, anti-dilution provisions, and other rights and preferences commonly associated with preferred shares.
The issuance of the Series A Shares was conducted in reliance upon exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), including, without limitation, those under Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Series A Shares were offered and sold only to investors who are “accredited investors,” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act.
