Pursuant to Rule 12b-15 as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1934, as amended, Abaxis, Inc. hereby amends, in
their entirety, Item 5 and Exhibit 4.1 of its Current Report on Form 8-K which
it filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 19, 2000, to be
as follows:
ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS.
On October 4, 2000 and November 17, 2000, Abaxis, Inc. (referred to
hereafter as "us" or "we") closed the sale of an aggregate of 6,578 shares of
Series D Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series D Preferred Stock") to purchasers
(the "Series D Financing"). We sold the Series D Preferred Stock at a price of
$1,000 per share for a total offering of $6,578,000 and we were authorized to
sell up to 10,000 shares of Series D Preferred Stock for a total offering of up
to $10,000,000. We realized net proceeds for the sale, after fees, totaling
approximately $6,183,000, which we plan to use for capital equipment
expenditures and general working capital purposes.
Each share of Series D Preferred Stock is convertible into the number of
shares of our Common Stock determined by dividing $1,000 by the initial
conversion price of $7.00 (the "Series D Conversion Price"). No fractional
shares may be issued upon conversion. For each share of Series D Preferred Stock
purchased, each purchaser also received a warrant to purchase fifty shares of
our Common Stock, exercisable within five years of the date of issuance at an
exercise price per share of $7.00. The Series D Conversion Price is subject to
adjustment for anti-dilution provisions, stock splits, stock combinations,
recapitalizations and the like as more fully set forth in the Certificate of
Designation for the Series D Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Designation").
The Series D Preferred Stock may be converted into our Common Stock at any time
after issuance thereof. Each share shall automatically be converted upon the
earlier to occur of: (i) September 27, 2005; provided, however, that if the
closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq National
Market System is less than $7.00 (as adjusted to reflect any stock dividends,
stock splits, stock combinations or recapitalizations) for each of the twenty
(20) consecutive trading days immediately prior to and including September 27,
2005, then the Series D Preferred Stock will convert into Common Stock
automatically upon the earlier to occur of (A) September 27, 2006 or (B) on the
first date following the first anniversary of the date of filing the Certificate
of Designation that the closing sales price of our Common Stock as reported on
the Nasdaq National Market System has exceeded $14.00 (as adjusted to reflect
any stock dividends, stock splits, stock combinations, recapitalizations or
similar events) for the twenty (20) consecutive trading days immediately prior
to such date (the "Market Conversion Date"); and provided, further, however,
that if the closing sales price of the Common Stock as reported on the Nasdaq
National Market System is $7.00 or greater for any twenty (20) consecutive
trading days following the first anniversary of the filing of the Certificate of
Designation, then the one year extension of the automatic conversion date
provided for in the preceding clause above, will not apply, and the conversion
date will remain the earlier to occur of (A) September 27, 2005 or (B) the
Market Conversion Date; or (ii) the Market Conversion Date.
We have agreed to file a registration statement Form S-3 no later than
forty-five (45) days after the execution date of the Securities Subscription
Agreement, or as soon as practicable thereafter, and we have agreed to keep the
registration effective until the earlier of one year thereafter or until all the
Series D Preferred Stock has been resold pursuant to an effective registration
statement.
The foregoing description of the Series D Financing is qualified in its
entirety by the Securities Subscription Agreement, dated October 4, 2000 and
attached to this filing as Exhibit 4.1, and the other agreements and instruments
executed in connection therewith, copies of which are attached as exhibits 3.1,
4.2 and 99.1 to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission on October 19, 2000.
