Debt Restructuring |
|
The Company executed a redemption and debt restructuring agreement with Vicis Capital Master Fund ("Vicis") to, among other things, extend the term of our loans to September 30, 2014 with two additional one year extensions if accrued interest is paid in full, and reduce the overall loan with Vicis from approximately $17,000,000 to $3,000,000. The restated loan accrues interest at six percent (6%) per annum. In addition, pursuant to the redemption and restructuring agreement, all shares and derivative securities held by Vicis including the series A convertible redeemable preferred stock, 19,995,092 shares of the Company’s common stock, and common stock purchase warrants exercisable for 76,864,250 shares of common stock have been returned to the Company and cancelled. The holders received no additional consideration to effect the modification. |
|
The approximately $14,000,000 extinguishment of debt was recorded as an equity transaction and the cancelled securities have been reflected as a reduction of the related shares of preferred and common stock and other securities as of December 31, 2013. The result was a decrease to common stock of $19,995 and an increase to additional paid-in capital of $14,098,847 from the extinguishment of debt, $5,000,000 from the write-off of preferred stock and $1,601,116 from the write-off of preferred stock dividends. |
|
Phoenix Vitae Holdings, LLC (“PV”), which is owned by the CEO of the Company, purchased the 6%, $3,000,000 secured promissory note from Vicis Capital Master Fund July 7, 2014. PV extended the interest payment date for the initial interest payment from June 30, 2014 to September 1, 2014. On September 1, 2014, a note amendment agreement was entered into whereby, the note is due on demand and the interest rate and terms are as follows: Interest on the principal amount (or any balance thereof) outstanding from time to time under this Note shall begin to accrue on the September 1, 2014 and shall accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to six percent (6.00%); provided, however, interest shall accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to nine percent (9.00%) during the period from July 1, 2014 through August 31, 2014; and provided further, that interest shall accrue at a fixed rate per year equal to twelve percent (12.0%); from and after September 1, 2014 until the Note is paid in full (in each case, computed on the basis of a 360-day year). |
