Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

As previously announced and reported in the registrant’s Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on December 22, 2005 (“Registrant’s 12/22/05 8-K”), on December 16, 2005, the registrant entered into a definite agreement (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) with a group of investors pursuant to which the registrant agreed to sell to such investors (the “Transaction”) shares of its common stock (the “Shares”) for a purchase price of $2.40 per share and, in addition, agreed to issue to the investors five-year warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase 35% of the number of shares of common stock sold in the offering at an exercise price of $2.93 per share.

 

The closing of the Transaction (the “Closing”) occurred on December 30, 2005. At the Closing, the registrant issued to the investors an aggregate of 9,892,735 shares of its common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,462,451 shares of its common stock, receiving in exchange (1) gross cash proceeds of approximately $15,800,000 (including $2,400,000 due from one of the investors as part of a funding commitment made, and promissory note delivered, to the registrant in January 2005); (2) an aggregate of 734 shares of the registrant’s outstanding Series A, B and C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock; and (3) 1,142,593 shares of its outstanding common stock.

 

At the Closing, the registrant entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the investors to register the resale of the Shares sold in the Transaction and the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement, the registrant is required to file a registration statement with the SEC within 30 days of the Closing, to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in no event later than 120 days after the Closing, and to use its best efforts to keep the registration statement continuously effective under the Act until all the registrable securities covered by the registration statement have been sold or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k).

 

The above descriptions, which summarize the material terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Warrants and the Registration Rights Agreement, are not complete. Please read the full text of these agreements, which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as exhibits to this Form 8-K as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively.
