(exact name of registrant as specified in its charter) Massachusetts 04-2729042 (State or other jurisdiction (I.R.S. employer of incorporation or organization) identification number) 62 FOURTH AVENUE, WALTHAM, MA 02154 (Address of principal executive offices) (Zip Code) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- INTERLEAF, INC. ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS 1997 PRIVATE PLACEMENT On September 30, 1997, Interleaf, Inc. (the "Company") completed a private placement transaction pursuant to which it received aggregate net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million (after cash fees to the placement agent and estimated transaction expenses) from the issuance of shares of the Company's 6% Convertible Preferred Stock ("Convertible Preferred Stock") and related placement agent warrants. Such transaction is referred to in this Form 8-K as the "1997 Private Placement," and the related securities issuances (including shares of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock") issuable upon the conversion of shares of Convertible Preferred Stock, as dividends thereon and upon exercise of the placement agent warrants) are referred to as the "1997 Private Placement Issuances." All of the securities sold in the 1997 Private Placement were sold in a private placement solely to accredited investors. The offering is complete and all shares of Convertible Preferred Stock have been placed. Certain provisions relating to the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock allow for their conversion at prices discounted to the trading price from time to time of the Common Stock on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq") national market. Upon such conversion, these provisions will result in dilution to holders of outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, under the terms of the Convertible Preferred Stock, no conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock into Common Stock is permitted for a period of 90 days from and after the closing of the 1997 Private Placement on September 30, 1997, so that no such dilution can take place for at least this period. SUBSEQUENT FILINGS In accordance with Exchange Act Release No. 37801 (October 10, 1996), the Company will make the disclosures required under Item 701 of Regulation S-K in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q to be filed on or before November 14, 1997. COMMUNICATIONS WITH NASDAQ In letters dated September 5, 1997 and September 25, 1997, Nasdaq informed the Company that in order to prevent delisting the Company would need to complete the 1997 Private Placement and file this Form 8-K demonstrating compliance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4450(a)(3)(C) using pro-forma information with June 30, 1997 as the base on or prior to October 1, 1997. As a result of the 1997 Private Placement, the Company is able to demonstrate such pro-forma compliance as shown in the financial statements included under Item 7 of this Form 8-K. Thus, the Common Stock of the Company will continue to be listed on the Nasdaq National Market from and after October 1, 1997 on the same basis as previously. The Company has made the following commitments to Nasdaq in connection with such continued listing: S The Company will seek stockholder approval of the 1997 Private Placement in a special meeting to be held not more than 90 days after the closing of the transaction. S The Company will reserve $1 million dollars from the proceeds of the 1997 Private Placement for a period of 18 months after the closing to be used solely for purposes of funding the "Green Floor" which permits the Company to make cash payments in lieu of certain 1997 Private Placement Issuances. The Company will use the full $1 million to exercise the "Green Floor" in order to prevent to the extent possible dilution equaling or exceeding 20% of the total shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to completion of the 1997 Private Placement. S Common Stock issued upon the conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock will not be allowed to vote in the shareholder vote on the 1997 Private Placement. STOCKHOLDER APPROVAL The Company intends to seek stockholder approval of the 1997 Private Placement at a special meeting called solely for this purpose to be held at the Company's principal executive offices at 62 Fourth Avenue, Waltham, Massachusetts on or about November 15, 1997. The record date for this special meeting has been set at October 15, 1997. ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS (c) Exhibits.
