On March 31, 2011 (the “Effective Date”), the Company issued an aggregate of 51 shares of preferred stock designated as Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) to three officers of the Company pursuant to an agreement (the “Agreement”) with the officers for such officers waiving the right to receive an aggregate of $300,000 payable to the officers pursuant to their employment agreements with the Company and in consideration of the Executives’ role in expanding the Company’s product line and the growth of the Company over the past twenty four months.
Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall have the right to convert all or part of his shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of the Company’s common stock such that each share of the Series A Preferred Stock shall convert into that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as shall be 1% of the Company’s common stock on a fully diluted basis on the date of conversion (whereby in the event all of the Series A Preferred Stock is converted, the Company shall issue that number of fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock as shall be 51% of the Company’s common stock). The shares of Series B Preferred Stock shall vote together with the Company’s Common Stock, except as otherwise required by law. The number of votes for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be the same number as the amount of shares of Common Stock that would be issued upon conversion. The Series A Preferred Stock is not entitled to dividends or preference upon liquidation. Furthermore, the Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of the Company’s common stock upon the occurrence of any one of the following events: (1) a listing of the Company’s common stock for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, New York American Stock Exchange or the Nasdaq; (2) an institutional financing in excess of $10,000,000; (3) a merger of the Company where the Company is not the surviving party; (4) a sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; or (5) any sale or transfer of the Series A Preferred Stock by a holder.
The Company relied upon exemptions provided for in Sections 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The certificates representing the Series A Preferred Stock contain legends restricting transferability absent registration or applicable exemption.
