| ITEM 5.03 | AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR. |
On August 13, 2012, the Company filed a Certificate of the Designations, Powers, Preferences and Rights of the Series F Non-Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate”) to its Articles of Incorporation, with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada, setting forth the terms of its Preferred Stock. On June 10, 2014, the Company amended and restated the Certificate to (i) postpone the payment date of the dividend thereunder to May 30, 2015, (ii) to delete a reference to the redemption or declaration of any cash dividend or distribution on any Junior Securities, and (iii) make certain minor corrections to the Certificate. No share of Series F Non-Convertible Preferred Stock was ever issued. The Company believes it to be in the best interests of its shareholders to delay the cash payment until such time as its financial position would enable it to make the payment without harming its ability to develop its business in accordance with management’s plans.
A copy of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Designations of the Series F Non-Convertible Preferred Stock is appended asExhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
