On June 16, 2006, Hydrogen Power International, Inc., formerly known as Equitex, Inc., (the “Company”) executed a Termination of Warrant Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) by and between the Company and Corporate Stock Transfer (the “Warrant Agent”), with respect to a Warrant Agreement dated as of February 7, 2005 (the “Warrant Agreement”). Through the Termination Agreement the Company’s Common Stock Class A Redeemable Warrants (the “Class A Warrants”), Common Stock Class B Redeemable Warrants (the “Class B Warrants”), Common Stock Class C Redeemable Warrants (the “Class C Warrants”) and Common Stock Class D Redeemable Warrants (the “Class D Warrants”) were extinguished and terminated.
On February 8, 2005, the Company began a dividend distribution of an aggregate of 3,046,038 Class A Warrants and 3,046,038 Class B Warrants to purchase an equivalent number of shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The dividend distribution was made to the Company’s stockholders of record as of February 7, 2005. The terms of the Class A Warrants and Class B Warrants are governed by the Warrant Agreement. Among other things, the Warrant Agreement states that neither the Class A nor Class B Warrants are exercisable until the effectiveness of a registration statement covering the issuance of common stock upon exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants.
On April 28, 2005, the Company filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 for the registration of the issuance of common stock upon exercise of the Class A and Class B Warrants. After the filing of the S-3 Registration Statement, the SEC Staff took the position that the Company’s distribution of the Class A and Class B Warrants constituted a simultaneous unregistered and non-exempt offer of the common stock purchasable under such warrants, which simultaneous offer was a violation of Section 5 of the Securities Act of 1933. As a result, the Company’s S-3 Registration Statement was never declared effective and was withdrawn on May 24, 2006.
On August 30, 2005, the Company filed with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-4 for the registration of (i) the exchange of the Class A and Class B Warrants for the Class C Warrants and Class D Warrants, and (ii) the registration of issuance of common stock upon the exercise of the Class C and Class D Warrants. In connection with the exchange offer contemplated by the S-4 Registration Statement, the Company reached an agreement with the Warrant Agent to enter into a new Warrant Agreement in August 2005 with terms and conditions substantially identical to the existing Warrant Agreement (the “New Warrant Agreement”). The New Warrant Agreement has not, however, been executed and delivered by the parties. The Company’s S-4 Registration Statement was never declared effective and was withdrawn on May 24, 2006.
The Termination Agreement is filed as Exhibit 4.1 to this current report.
