Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
On September 20 through September 23 certain holders of the 2015 Notes were issued shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, (as amended) in connection with the pre-installment amount converted for the amortization date of September 30, 2016. In connection with the pre-installments, the Company issued 157,341 shares of common stock upon the conversion of $2,055,571 principal amount of 2015 Notes at a conversion price of $13.064 per share.
On September 20 in accordance with the terms of the 2015 Notes the Company issued additional shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to adjust previously converted amortization and accelerated amounts for the post-split pre-installment conversion price calculated without limitation to the floor exercise price. Pursuant to this adjustment the Company issued an additional 108,027 shares of common stock to make the effective pre-installment conversion price $13.064 per share.
On September 22 and September 23 the Company issued additional shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to adjust previously converted amortization and accelerated amounts in the amount of $1,075,000 for the temporary Conversion Price Reduction. Pursuant to this adjustment the Company issued an additional 305,860 shares of common stock to make the effective pre-installment conversion price $2.80 per share. These conversions will no longer be subject to future deferrals.
As of September 23, 2016 a total principal amount of $19,331,882 of the 2015 Notes has been converted into shares of common stock and $2,768,118 principal remains to be converted, subject to up to $14,562,068 of principal amount becoming subject to deferrals and subsequent conversion upon future installments. A total of $11.3 million of the proceeds from the 2015 Notes has been released to the Company including $4.6 million at closing and $6.7 million from the restricted cash accounts. $7.1 million remains in the restricted accounts to be released to the Company upon future installments.
The Company previously filed an 8-K on September 16, 2016 and reported 1,196,202 shares outstanding therefore as of September 23, 2016 there are 1,767,430 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.
Item 3.03 Material Modifications to Rights of Security Holders
On September 21, 2016, the holders of the 2015 Notes approved a temporary Conversion Price Reduction as permitted in the terms of the Notes whereby up to an aggregate of $2 million will be permitted to be converted at a conversion price of $2.80. These conversions will not be subject to future deferrals.
In connection with the temporary Conversion Price Reduction described in Item 3.02 hereof (the “Conversions”), the exercise prices or conversion prices of certain of our issued and outstanding securities were automatically adjusted to take into account the reduced conversion price of the 2015 Notes. The exercise prices of the following securities were adjusted as follows.
Class A and Class B Warrants
As of September 22, 2016, the Company had outstanding Class A Warrants to purchase 52 shares and Class B Warrants to purchase 33 shares of common stock of the Company. The Class A and Class B Warrants include a provision which provides that the exercise price of the Class A and Class B Warrants will be adjusted in connection with certain equity issuances by the Company. The consummation of the Conversions triggers an adjustment to the exercise price of the Class A and Class B Warrants. Therefore, on September 22, 2016, the exercise price for the Class A and Class B Warrants was adjusted from $13.06 to $2.80 per share of common stock.
Common Stock Warrants
As of September 22, 2016, the Company had outstanding certain common stock warrants to purchase 2 shares of common stock of the Company. As a result of the Conversions, on September 22, 2016, the exercise price for certain Common Warrants was adjusted from $13.06 to $2.80 per share of common stock.
Series G Warrants
As of September 22, 2016, the Company had outstanding Series G Warrants to purchase 38,438 shares of common stock of the Company. The Series G Warrants include a provision which provides that the exercise price of the Series G Warrants will be adjusted in connection with certain equity issuances by the Company. The consummation of the Conversions triggers an adjustment to the exercise price of the Series G Warrants. Therefore, on September 22, 2016, the exercise price for the Series G Warrants was adjusted from $13.06 to $2.08 per share of common stock.
